Nikki Haley Gains Ground in South Carolina GOP Primary, Trump Still Dominates

Nikki Haley has surged into second place in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary race, with 22% support, leaving Ron DeSantis behind at 11%. This comes after Haley tied with DeSantis at 16% in a recent Iowa poll. Haley aims to position herself as the main alternative to former President Donald Trump, who maintains an overwhelming lead in the polls. South Carolina is seen as a crucial test for GOP rivals, and if Trump falters in Iowa or New Hampshire, an alternative candidate may have a chance to challenge him. However, Trump remains the clear favorite among GOP voters.

Supreme Court Poised to Uphold GOP Gerrymandering in South Carolina

The Supreme Court's conservative majority appears likely to uphold a Republican-drawn congressional district in South Carolina that a lower court found was racially gerrymandered. The case tests the legal limits of partisan gerrymandering when it intersects with race, with the NAACP accusing Republican lawmakers of drawing the district by shuffling Black voters in and out to make it reliably Republican. The conservative justices expressed doubts about the evidence presented at the lower court, suggesting that race was not the predominant factor in drawing the lines. This case is the latest test of how the courts will handle the intersection of racial and partisan gerrymandering.
