I'm a bit surprised with how competitive SC has been.
Also, RIP Jones.
I'm not. South Carolina, while remaining a Republican state, seems to be trending to the left, and Joe Cunningham's victory in SC-01 in 2018 is evidence of that. Moreover, that year's gubernatorial election was a relatively competitive race, as McMaster won by "only" 8%, and Lindsay Graham has lost some of the appeal which he once had with independents and Democrats by turning himself into a Trump lapdog. He'll still win of course, but it'll be the closest race of his career.
