Let's Discuss the South Carolina Primary Results

South Carolina’s primary results are in, and there is a lot to unpack. From the governor’s race and Trump’s influence on Republican voters to Democratic turnout, gerrymandering, and the races that could reshape political power in the state, this election cycle revealed more than just winners and losers. Grace and Katelyn break down the biggest surprises, what the results say about South Carolina voters, and why races like State Treasurer may matter more than people realize. From surprise outcomes to bigger political trends, these results could shape what happens next in South Carolina. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:09 South Carolina Primaries Broke Records 00:10:47 The Fight Over Closed Primaries 00:18:12 Why Democrats Keep Losing the Message 00:27:37 Nancy Mace’s Brutal Primary Loss 00:35:53 A Very Important Governor's Race 00:44:12 Secretary of State and Treasurer Races 00:57:26 Standout House Candidates From the Primaries 01:03:54 A Whole Nother Thing Also available wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frogmore-stew/id1714820542 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6pxy2KuAmOfHCOU7xFQHUj There's more stew on Substack! https://frogmorestew.substack.com/ Learn more about Frogmore Stew at https://www.frogmorestewsc.com/ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frogmorestewsc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frogmorestewsc Frogmore Stew is brought to you by The Alliance Coalition The Alliance Coalition works to redistribute power back to YOU, the voter.
