Young Dem Wins South Carolina House Seat In Lindsey Graham’s Backyard

The win makes Scott the youngest member of the South Carolina House, which remains dominated by Republicans. His victory was hailed by the Democratic National Committee’s chairman, Ken Martin.

“As long as Trump and MAGA Republicans peddle an out-of-touch agenda that puts billionaires’ interests first and takes away health care from millions of Americans, they will continue to sink and lose,” DNC chairperson Ken Martin said in a statement.

Scott’s victory comes as Graham has taken some heat for a visit this week to Ukraine where some of his comments were seen as counterproductive to President Donald Trump’s policies involving the war-torn country.

In a video shared on X, the senator stated that Congress is prepared to take action against Russia, regardless of whether President Trump supports it.
