I think he'll be back. He's very charismatic and only lost by 1% in a bad year for House Dems.
That was before the coming gerrymander.
Making the district considerably more Republican than the current SC-1 is a Herculean task.
It is not. The seat is overpopulated, while the neighboring Safe D seat is underpopulated. It makes a lot of sense to take the Democratic parts of this seat and just give them to Clyburn.
That's true, but I mapped it on DRA, and the seat I got was not much more Republican than the old one.
