• SC doesn't have many close '26 races. Why are potential '28 hopefuls visiting now? (thestate.com) — National Democratic figures are already courting South Carolina voters, including a packed campaign-style stop at Mauldin's T-Motion Dance Studio by Sen. Mark Kelly. Their visits aim to boost 2026 candidates and build connections ahead of the 2028 presidential primary, as Democrats see rare chances to flip a U.S. Senate seat, governor's office, and key legislative races.
