Gerrymandering is bad no matter who does it. But the reality is the only way it will ever end is by electing a Democratic majority and banning it for good on a federal level.

Today, SC Republicans bragged about the gerrymandered map they already have, then killed Trump’s map because it would make GOP seats much more competitive. It wasn’t principle that killed this map. It was math.

The only job of a political party is to win elections so it can improve people’s lives. Somewhere along the way, Democrats forgot the first part and wondered why we couldn’t do the second. Life of the Party is out May 20. Pre-order: lifeofthepartybook.com

This book calls for real reform: age limits for politicians, a national ban on gerrymandering, less influence for “the groups,” an end to identity-politics language, a real outreach strategy for men, immigration, faith, and shutting down political grift.

"So yes, Democrats should oppose efforts to dilute black representation. Fight the rigging in court. Fight it in public. Keep demanding the national ban that would take this weapon away from both parties. But do not fear this proposed redraw."

SC GOP thirst for more power may be a blessing for Dems. To get a 7–0 map, they have to move Clyburn’s voters into GOP districts, creating multiple new pickup opportunities in a big Dem year. If they want to hand us this gift, we should hand them a pen. postandcourier.com/opinion/commen…

SC Republicans want a 7–0 map? I say go for it. Clyburn’s voters don’t vanish. They have to go somewhere. And that “somewhere” is into GOP districts. If @SCGOP wants to turn one safe Democratic seat into multiple swing seats in a Democratic year, I’m not moving the rake.

I oppose gerrymandering and efforts to dilute black representation. But if the GOP wants to hand us the gift of multiple new competitive congressional districts in 2026, we should get out of their way and offer them a pen.

Also telling: Sheri Biggs, Russell Fry, Joe Wilson and the #SC01 GOP field are awfully quiet. They know who absorbs those voters. I know a thing or two about the 1st District. Redraw the 6th district and the 1st becomes a toss up.
