Congressman Jim Clyburn is backing a former staffer, Christale Spain, in her effort to lead South Carolina’s Democrats, as the state prepares to host in 2024 the party’s opening presidential primary.
While the party’s national prominence has risen — most recently when the Democratic National Committee made South Carolina the first voting state on its 2024 presidential primary calendar — South Carolina’s Democrats have struggled to notch electoral wins at many levels of office., Democrats hold only one of the state’s seven U.S. House seats. The party last won a U.S. Senate race in 1998, and Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat to carry the state in a presidential election.
There have been some successes. In 2018, Joe Cunningham became the first Democrat to flip a House seat from red to blue in South Carolina in decades, thoughTwo other people are vying for the chairmanship. Brandon Upson, a progressive Democrat who chairs the state party’s Black Caucus, advised Tom Steyer’s 2020 presidential campaign in South Carolina. Since then, Upson founded Amplify Action, a national voter registration and mobilization effort.
