“South Carolina Democrats can’t even win a 2nd house seat, how can they win statewide?”
The SC map is so gerrymandered that statewide races range D40-45% while the Dems in congressional races get 28-42% (yikes).
Believe it or not, statewide SC races may be more viable than SC01 or SC02.

National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ troops’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence
Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

At least seven of the cited sources in the ‘MAHA report’ do not even actually exist.
For example, the document listed epidemiologist Katherine Keyes as first author of a study on anxiety in adolescents… “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes said.

There's new evidence that the White House's “The MAHA Report: Making Our Children Healthy Again” relied in part on scientific research that doesn't exist.
