🚨 RATINGS CHANGE: Cook Political Report Shifts SC-01 Race in Democrats’ Direction

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifted South Carolina’s 1st District in Democrats’ direction.

This is the latest sign that this open seat is in play just like in 2018, when Democrats “pulled off an upset” and flipped this district.

Cook writes in part that “the combination of an open seat and…well-funded [Democratic candidates] means the GOP can’t take the race for granted.”

Regardless of which toxic Republican comes limping out of next week’s runoff election, it is clear they are more focused on serving Washington than serving the people of South Carolina.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“South Carolinians are being crushed by rising prices thanks to politicians who care more about playing games and serving party leadership than actually working for the Lowcountry. As voters pay more for everything from gas and groceries, to health care and electricity, this open seat is in play and voters are ready to reject business-as-usual to elect a new kind of leader.”
