Good news: the House voted down the bad hemp bill. We still need a responsible bill with 21+ age limits, clear labeling, safety standards, and child-proof packaging. But today, we defeated a bad bill, protected small businesses, and preserved the right for adults to make adult decisions about what they choose to drink.

Man... that’s messed up. @kilmarley2112 I’m not an ivermectin user, but who am I to tell another adult what medicine they can or cannot take if it causes no harm themselves or others? Let adults make adult decisions.

It passed unanimously earlier this year but the House just moved to recommit Jay Kilmartin's bill legalizing OTC Ivermectin. Freedom Caucus peeved. Saying this is all political, based on primary fights. "We passed this with 100-plus votes. What changed?" -@stephen_frank

Imagine spending your whole campaign trying to earn a single endorsement, only for the man to endorse you and your opponent! If you want a governor who will focus on solving the issues of SC, I am your man.

What happened to the unconditional surrender condition? And why are we giving Iran $300 billion dollars if we won?

The polls are closed. What a wild primary season. Thank you to everyone who paid attention and voted. SC sent a clear message with record-breaking participation: our elections and maps belong to us, not Washington, D.C. While I breathe, I vote!

South Carolina, we can be proud of these numbers. For a primary election, the previous high water mark was 23,134 votes in a single day, statewide. We topped that record every single day in 2026. SC voters are fired up! Solid work Palmetto State 💪

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!

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

The SC Dem surge was not a one day event. People are still voting in record numbers for a primary election. 💪

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. More: winthrop.edu/winthroppoll/2…

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.

Joe Cunningham @JoeCunninghamSC

Democrats are the only party that has actually put a bill on the House floor to ban partisan gerrymandering nationwide. If we want fair maps in every state, we need to elect a Democratic majority and end this rigged system once and for all.
