Now, for some personal news.

I'll be working on the biggest stories of the day. Otherwise, my focus will be on redistricting & voting rights.

Amazing deet on SC's most remote precinct, via @JSCollinsAP:
"There are stories of 1 night the Daufuskie Island precinct left everyone waiting until the early morning hours because the person bringing the votes back stopped because the fishing was good." https://t.co/RS4CJIuNan

@sfretwell83 What a tremendous catalogue of work, Sammy. You have so much to be proud of. SC was better for having you on that beat. Big loss.

Heartbroken for my former McClatchy newsroom.

The reporters deserved better.

"The eliminated positions include seven news reporters, three sports reporters, two visual journalists and one editor. This currently leaves the Herald-Leader with just two reporters to cover city and state government." https://t.co/sYDEPhAo3d

Caitlin is a phenomenal reporter and writer. Her stories really come to life through the way she captures details and people in SC.

She’s also an amazing mentor and friend.

A huge loss for the P&C, but I’m so excited for her new chapter.

Some personal news, as they say.

After a decade of reporting in South Carolina, eight of them at The Post and Courier, my last day at the newspaper is July 28. If you need to reach me on anything before then, now is the time.

In Uvalde, where I’ve been since Tuesday, people woke at 1 a.m. to a blaring tornado alert.

Many walked out of hotel rooms, greeting each other and craning skyward.

Lightning came like machine gun fire. Rain pounded and wind rippled over the pool, but the tornado never formed.

Senator Lindsey Graham was scheduled to appear on @MeetThePress this morning.

It would have been his 64th appearance on this broadcast.

We are sending our deepest condolences to his family and colleagues.

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will join us this morning to reflect on his life and legacy.

[Ian Grenier @IanGrenier1]

Mark Lynch, who took about 29 percent of the vote in his primary challenge against Graham in June, is considering a run in the special election to replace the late senator, according to a spokesman.

Here's the rundown of what that process looks like:
