South Carolina Republicans are defying President Donald Trump as the state considers redistricting. Multiple outlets report that Trump has been monitoring the effort and warning that he was watching closely as GOP lawmakers attempted to redraw district maps. On Tuesday, a state Senate measure that would force a vote on the redistricting effort failed. The vote comes after five Republican state senators broke ranks and sided with Democrats to oppose the redistricting procedure, preventing it from advancing at that time. Fox News and the New York Post both describe the same core outcome: the measure does not move forward for now because the Republican lawmakers who joined Democrats blocked the vote. The reports characterize the defiance as occurring despite Trump’s involvement and public attention to the issue. Both accounts agree that the immediate result is that redistricting is stalled in the South Carolina state Senate, at least until lawmakers take further action.
