SC-03: Trump endorses Mark Burns, who wants to bring back HUAC

It’s worth noting that this is the whitest seat in the state and the most Republican areas are also the most white. I’m not sure how a black man from the “city” fairs against local pols.

Trumps endorsement wasn’t enough for Vernon Jones in GA-10 which has a pretty similar makeup to SC-03. If anything GA-10 would’ve been more favorable to Jones then this one is to Burns

Well, either way the main Rs suck s**t. The other one running that has any likely chance is a state senator who sponsored the bill to make abortion doctors eligible for the death penalty.

In the end, neither will be better than Duncan, though not much worse either. I hate my district.

There are like three main Republicans aside from Burns in SC-03: State Rep. Stewart Jones, veteran Sheri Biggs, and former Graham aide Kevin Bishop. I’d bet on a GA-10 redux where Burns and one of the others advance to the runoff, then Burns loses.

Never heard of Biggs or Bishop, hence why I'm kinda writing them off. I live in this district.

Kinda sucks how SC-03 is the one South Carolina seat that's truly uber-safe R under any circumstances; Trump won the current config by 37.5%; every other seat is less than Trump + 20. Dems probably wouldn't win SC-04 but they could still could be an interesting race.

I've theorycrafted a scenario where I somehow win in a 2027 special election, but it's pretty outlandishly unrealistic, requiring a moderate conservative split and the R candidate to be a local crazy who has an absolute treasure trove of statements that are radical even for the area, talking about the civil rights movement being "communistic" etc.

Bringing back HUAC would be a bad thing, right? Because Congress is not supposed to investigate things, right? Only the executive branch is supposed to investigate, correct? Why does Congress keep on repeatedly usurping the executive branch's power to investigate? Like the January 6th committee?
