共和党推动南卡罗来纳州通过重绘美国众议院选区地图，加入全国重划选区的斗争，但该努力周二以失败告终，州参议院的首轮投票未获通过。
唐纳德·特朗普总统曾敦促南卡罗来纳州在11月选举前重划国会选区，以期帮助共和党在这个席位差距极小的众议院中再拿下一个席位。该州众议院此前已投票通过一项议案，允许议员在本周常规会期结束后返回议事，审议重划选区事宜，并提出了一份新的选区地图，该地图可能会取消该州目前唯一由民主党掌控的席位。
但参议院同样需要批准才能启动重划选区的程序。
此次投票结果为29票赞成、17票反对，未达到所需的三分之二多数票，仅差两票。五名共和党议员与参议院所有民主党议员一道否决了这项提案。
特朗普周一在社交媒体上表示，他正密切关注此次重划选区投票，敦促南卡罗来纳州参议员“大胆且勇敢”，推迟众议院初选，以便能够绘制新的选区地图。
尽管共和党在州参议院拥有绝对多数席位，但部分共和党参议员不确定这份拟议的选区地图能否确保本党击败长期担任民主党籍联邦众议员的詹姆斯·克莱伯恩。他们还表示，该提案可能会将足够多的民主党选民推入其他选区，反而适得其反，最终导致共和党在该州众议院席位比例变为5比2，甚至4比3。
南卡罗来纳州参议院多数党领袖沙恩·梅西承认受到了特朗普的施压，但他表示，自己不愿被要求屈从于他人意志，而是应该做对本州最有利的事。
“我骨子里流淌着太多南方人的血液，”梅西说道。“我的家族传承里自带太多反抗精神。”

The Republican push for South Carolina to join the national redistricting battle by redrawing its US House map fizzled Tuesday as an initial vote in the state Senate fell short.
President Donald Trump had urged South Carolina to redraw its congressional districts ahead of the November elections in an attempt to help Republicans win another seat in the closely divided chamber. The state House had voted in favor of letting lawmakers return after the regular session ends this week to consider redistricting, and had proposed a new map that could eliminate the state’s only Democratic-held seat.
But the Senate had to give permission to take up redistricting, too.
The 29-17 vote failed, with just two votes short of the two-thirds needed. Five Republicans joined all the Democrats in the chamber to reject the proposal.
Trump said on social media Monday that he was closely watching the redistricting vote, urging South Carolina senators to “be bold and courageous” and to delay the House primaries so new districts can be drawn.
Although Republicans have a supermajority in the chamber, some GOP senators weren’t sure the proposed map would guarantee the party could unseat longtime Democratic US Rep. James Clyburn. They also said it could push enough Democrats into other districts to backfire, resulting in a 5-2 or even a 4-3 Republican split.
South Carolina Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey acknowledged the pressure from Trump, but said he doesn’t like being asked to bend to someone’s will instead of doing what’s best for his state.
“I got too much Southern in my blood,” Massey said. “I’ve got too much resistance in my heritage.”
