    i mean yeah that’s kind of where my thoughts went too. I didn’t realize he was in Thurmond’s old seat though.

    don’t want to pretend this is a South Carolina problem either. I started becoming politically aware in the 90s, and the senators i remember having all of my childhood (it was only most of my childhood, but y’know how memory works) were in there for 24 and 31 years.

    where do SC’s representative replacement laws stand? i think the article i read said the republican governor of SC gets to appoint the replacement for the remainder of his term, so like the next six months.

      Governor appoints an interim, Republicans have until 8/11 to name a nominee, then the General election in November.

      Whoever wins in November replaces the interim Senator in January.
