  • South Carolina's Senate aims to tackle energy, affordable housing, and childcare with a GOP supermajority and 13 new members.

The South Carolina Senate is gearing up for its legislative session with significant changes, including the addition of 13 new members and a shift to a Republican supermajority. This change in composition means that the GOP now holds 30 out of 46 seats, giving them the power to override gubernatorial vetoes without needing Democratic support. This supermajority could lead to a more streamlined legislative process for Republican priorities, potentially affecting policies on education, healthcare, and economic development. The new senators, including former House members and political newcomers, bring diverse backgrounds but align with the conservative leanings of the state. Key issues expected to be addressed include education reform, tax policies, and possibly revisiting contentious topics like abortion and gun control, with the dynamics of the Senate now heavily favoring Republican initiatives.
