Now, for some personal news. I am very excited to share that I will be joining The Associated Press through @Report4America in Austin, Texas. reportforamerica.org/members… I'll be working on the biggest stories of the day. Otherwise, my focus will be on redistricting & voting rights.

Please give Ian a follow. He's a phenomenal reporter and I'm stoked to work with him.
Personal news: Today is my last on the education beat for the @postandcourier. I'm not leaving; next week I'll be moving to our politics desk to start covering the Legislature and state gov't/politics. I'm excited to start. If you're in that world: igrenier@postandcourier.com

🧵Today was my last day at The Post and Courier, and soon I'll be leaving South Carolina. The past three years have been an incredible chapter in my life. I was privileged to tell stories about how policy affects people’s lives, and so much more.

Mentors like @MaayanSchechter are rare — smart, sharp, and endlessly kind with their time. Thank you for all you've done for me. Major thanks to freinds, @JosieFrostNews, @carolineyaffatv, @OliviaNAli, @BozardCaleb & @AlexaJurado6. Columbia would not be the same without you.

Lastly, I will soon be signing off socials for a bit before I start my new job in July. I'm headed for a much-needed beach break. Love you South Carolina. Thank you for everything!❣️

@PamelaEvette affirmed Trump called her moments ago and told her that they’re going to fight and win the runoff big.

The Democratic primary in that senate race has been called for Mountain Pleasant pediatrician Annie Andrews. She ran for Congress previously, losing to Nancy Mace (who is running for S.C. gov and doing poorly tonight)

This is crazy. With almost no television spending and a fraction of his millionaire opponents' spending, Johnson avoids a run-off in the Democratic Primary to proceed to the general.
WE DID IT, SOUTH CAROLINA. This victory belongs to every volunteer, donor, supporter, and voter who believed our state deserves more. Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your support. Tonight, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get back to work. Together, we’re building a #NEWSC.

SC House GOP championing Wooten's win - which was competititive this year. He beat Republican candidate John Allen, who had at times campaigned alongside Ralph Norman, 57% to Allen's 43%.
🎉 Congratulations to Chris Wooten on winning the Republican nomination for House District 69! #LexingtonSC #SCPol

The call came just a bit ago - and what "whatever it takes" means is still unclear.
Trump called Evette and said he will do whatever it takes to help her win the runoff, per a source with knowledge of the conversation.
