South Carolina Republicans reject Trump redistricting proposal in rare defiance

Five South Carolina Republicans joined Democrats to reject a Trump-backed redistricting proposal Tuesday, falling two votes short of passage in the state senate. GOP majority leader Shane Massey said he sought power "to uplift," not punish, defying Trump's Monday demand to "GET IT DONE." The vote represents rare Republican resistance to the president's redistricting push across GOP-controlled states.
