A defeat for Trump in South Carolina

144

People in the USA fight about voting districts. There was a vote in South Carolina. It was about new borders for voting areas. Donald Trump wanted this change.

The change would end one district for Democrats. But the Senate in South Carolina said no. 29 politicians voted for it. 17 politicians voted against it.

A big majority was needed for the change. They missed the majority by a little. 5 Republicans also voted against the plan by Trump. Shane Massey is a strong Republican.

He says: The change hurts the state. He does not want to use power to punish others. Because of the no, Jim Clyburn likely keeps his seat. He is a famous politician of the Democrats.

Other states make different choices. In Missouri a court allowed new voting areas. There the Democrats will likely lose one seat. Tennessee and Louisiana also change their voting maps.
