By noon, more than 26,000 people had voted, surpassing the highest single-day early voting turnout ever recorded for a primary election in South Carolina.
By 3 p.m., an estimated 44,600 ballots had been cast.
The previous record was 23,000 primary ballots cast in 2024. #scpol

Hey everyone. I know you're hurting. Wanted to share what I just wrote about Kyle Busch. https://t.co/tNgNwBZlGb

[Dale Earnhardt Jr. @DaleJr]

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.

Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

@JoannaStern @nytimes @USATODAY You are a badass! So happy for you.

[Valerie Bauerlein @vbauerlein]

Always love talking with @smerconish and @tccannon124

[Michael Smerconish @smerconish]

Michael speaks with Wall Street Journal reporter and "The Devil at His Elbow" author Valerie Bauerlein about the stunning overturning of Alex Murdaugh’s murder conviction in South Carolina. They unpack the explosive story surrounding Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill, claims of juror influence, the “egg lady” juror dismissal, missing murder weapons, and why South Carolina prosecutors are preparing to retry Murdaugh for the murders of Maggie and Paul.

i am absolutely obsessed with this steve kerr tidbit and need the more dedicated swifties to get on this ASAP

[Valerie Bauerlein @vbauerlein]

New trial for Alex #Murdaugh. SC Supco places responsibility on Becky Hill:

"Hill's shocking jury interference was accomplished outside the presence and knowledge of the outstanding trial judge and superbly competent and professional counsel for the State and the defense."

@KatABrew I loved being part of your team!

[Katherine Brewer @KatABrew]

The Journal's series "Camp Swamp Road" is a Pulitzer finalist!!!

This is the first time @wsj has been a finalist in the audio category, which is very cool. I'm so happy that the reporting of @vbauerlein and the work of our team has been recognized.

An amazing evening hosted by University of South Carolina School Of Journalism and Mass Communications featuring journalist and author, Valerie Bauerlein.

Former Chief Justice Toal who presided over the Murdaugh evidentiary hearing sat in front me.

The gang’s all here! Wonderful evening @UofSC Buchheit Lecture with Valerie Bauerlein. #murdaugh

Thanks, @mikesisak! #scpol

[Mike Sisak @mikesisak]

Sometimes, big stories come from small places. The Wall Street Journal's @vbauerlein dug into the police coverup that ensued after a car chase and killing near Myrtle Beach. The results were breathtaking and infuriating. This story and all the others are worth your time.
