[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

Introducing Edward Charles Sutton III. He will go by Tripp.

Our lives have taken on a new purpose as of today. 😍

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

Charleston, 3 days left to early vote.

Let's keep breaking records.

And we have some pride on the line. We can't let Richland out vote us!

[Tameika Isaac Devine @TIDEVINE]

Challenge Accepted 🗳️

Richland County has been shattering records in the early vote for the June primary and now Charleston Senator @EdCSutton has thrown down the gauntlet & says Charleston will surpass us in early vote totals.

I am confident that Richland County will win

Solid ad.

I’m Roy Cooper, and I’m running for the Senate to make life easier.

The SC Dem surge was not a one day event.

People are still voting in record numbers for a primary election. 💪

[Lachlan McIntosh @LachlanMcIntosh]

As of this morning, just over 156,000 people have early voted in the South Carolina primaries.

69% are Democratic, 31% are Republican.

Democrats haven't had a larger turnout for a state primary in SC since the early 90s.

Shane Massey tried to warn y'all.

[Russell Ott @SenRussellOtt]

One thing I learned this weekend: folks are paying attention.

From the Blue Palmetto Dinner to welcoming Gov. Andy Beshear at Heyward AME, I had the chance to hear from people who care deeply about where South Carolina is headed.

Record early voting turnout tells me people want a seat at the table. That's exactly how it ought to be.

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

Andy Beshear is right.

Southern Democrats win when we stop sounding like Washington and start talking like our neighbors.

Families. Jobs. Schools. Public safety. The American Dream.

Speak plainly. Show up everywhere. Get things done.

He says they are mainly worn by old women in their garden or construction workers on the side of the road.

But Citadel slugger Zach Hunt, raised on a farm in Dillon, wears them as batting gloves.

It’s worked to the tune of 10 HR’s this year.

I dug in, on those yellow mitts.

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

So Trump is trying to force another terrible deal on SC?

Evette represents the final Ohiofication of SC.

And now there is a political nepobaby in tow that no one knows or asked for.

Empty suits doing empty suit things.

[FITSNews @fitsnews]

It's still early days, but judging by the immediate response to @RealDonaldTrump's endorsement of @PamelaEvette in the South Carolina governor's race, "very popular" would appear to be quite the stretch... people are actually more pissed about this endorsement than they were about Trump endorsing @LindseyGrahamSC, which is saying something.

MAGA: Obama giving Iran $1.7 billion unfrozen assets is TREASON.

[Joe Cunningham @JoeCunninghamSC]

An overwhelming majority of Americans - nearly 80% - want to ban gerrymandering. Just 7% say they favor it.

But only one party is willing to do anything about it.

It’s time to officially make ending gerrymandering core to the Democratic brand.

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

It’s the economy, stupid.

If SC Dems want to expand the tent and win big in South Carolina, we need to talk about groceries, rent, insurance, wages, and people’s pocketbooks.

Stay focused.

-Own the freedom message; current state house loves being a nanny state.

-Talk kitchen-table economics.

-Stay out of the bathrooms.

[Caitlin Byrd @MaryCaitlinByrd]

New Winthrop University Poll this AM offers some serious pulse checks on how South Carolinians are feeling about the economy:
- Paying for food is difficult or very difficult for 67%
- Only 1 in 5 respondents say they are better off than a year ago.

In the midst of all this mid-decade election rigging madness Trump has unleashed on us, this point is not mentioned nearly enough. Congressional Dems & President Biden tried to ban gerrymandering nationwide. Republicans in the US Senate blocked it twice.

[JoeReynoldsChief @JoeReynolds2020]

Line out to sidewalk for early voting South Carolina primary. This is a big middle finger to redistricting. #NorthCharleston

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

Great statement to revisit from the previous week.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Nancy Mace @NancyMace]

REDISTRICTING PASSES SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE.

[Brady Quirk-Garvan @bradyqg]

- Record breaking turnout on the first day of early voting in SC

- Senate affirms Democracy and maintains the current lines for 2026

During dark periods in history it's important to celebrate the wins. This is a positive step for America.

[Lachlan McIntosh @LachlanMcIntosh]

Wow.

Biggest win for SC Democrats since Hodges was Governor.

Several more big wins are coming in November.

[Nick Reynolds @IAmNickReynolds]

Sen. Shane Massey now meeting with the press. Said the turnout seen earlier today supported his theory it would only energize voters downballot.

"Just having this debate is going to have negative consequences for Republicans across the state," he said.

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

South Carolina's tradition of independence lives on. ✊️

Breaking News: South Carolina state senators defied pressure from President Trump to adopt a new House map, adjourning without taking it up. https://t.co/HrrJM9mlLY

To save everyone's time, don't bother reading the comments on my posts for the next 24 hours.

Here's exactly what will be said by the bot farms:

"Rhino" & "We will primary you"

To that sentiment: bless your heart ❤️

Also, get better bots, I am a proud Democrat.

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

South Carolina early voters and Senate Democrats just defeated Trump’s last-second redistricting effort.

Veterans and military families stood up.

Early voters showed up in record-breaking numbers.

This is not a win for one party.

This is a win for South Carolina.
