South Carolina Senate race is a tossup, NYT poll finds
South Carolina senate being more competitive than Florida is incredibly easy to understand if you arent in the political mindset of 10 years ago Darline is terrible and there’s been basically no good trends out of Florida for a long time. Even latinos reverting back to Clinton would still be a loss
Rusty Muck 🦝 ❤️ 🇨🇦25Inasmuch as I want the Ds to get both seats, SC absolutely inflicts more long-term psychological devastation on the Rs especially with how Lindsey would have been a shoo-in
Thoreau Away13I personally like the idea of Florida as the MAGA containment field, at least until half the state is underwater and the sort of political philosophy that breeds in Exurban Mordor is unleashed back on the other states
zcroissant99.bsky.social10Appointed Senator, her opponent hates her and multiple members of his family will vote for the Dem, and she’s clearly in above her head. If only all our opponents were like her.
Holli Winters8She has zero political experience, and the only thing she brings to South Carolina is that she will do what Trump tells her to do.
BleedGreen193There's a reason Dems want SC to be the first stae they caucus in. Theres so much untappe voting potential in SC. The only problem is their electorate won't play out well for dems nationally.
thependulumcometh.bsky.social2The only good trend are some suburbs shifting left, mainly in Jacksonville
I cannot bring myself to believe that SC is actually tied. (This not for any good reason; I just can’t bring myself to believe that this is possible.) But the fact that it’s even close shows, yet again, why you appoint a good potential Senator, not someone’s sister, to a suddenly vacant seat.
hilzoy15I mean, SC isn’t even a place where long disappointment has given me political scar tissue, like TX or FL. It’s freaking *South Carolina.* 😮
Cranky Old Sandlapper2I’ve been disappointed too many times by my home state to allow myself to be optimistic about Andrews’ chances, but I’m open to the idea!
boo ming1having just driven around country-club land in a reliably deep-red upstate counting lawn signs, and finding only *3* graham signs vs a ton of andrews signs (and the local races are similar), i think a tied race is actually pretty likely. which is fucking *bonkers*, but ya gotta go with the evidence.
poor-yorick.bsky.social1It does appear the attempt to engineer continuity in the seat has backfired a bit. SC lacks a large base of independents tho
