24-Year-Old Dem Wins Sweeping Victory In Lindsey Graham’s State
Democratic candidate Keishan Scott, 24, secured victory in South Carolina’s House of Representatives, becoming one of the youngest members. Scott won the election with a significant margin over his GOP opponent, garnering nearly 71% of the votes. Representing District 50 in Senator Lindsey Graham’s state, Scott is a first-generation college graduate from Central Carolina Technical College and the University of South Carolina. His campaign focused on healthcare access, quality education, workforce empowerment, and infrastructure expansion.
The seat was previously held by Democrat Will Wheeler, who unexpectedly resigned, leading to a special election won by Scott. The victory comes at a time when Democrats are facing challenges, with former Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly winning the district in the 2024 presidential election.
Scott’s landslide win coincides with DNC Vice Chair David Hogg’s announcement of a $20 million effort to elect younger Democratic candidates in safe blue districts. This move has sparked controversy, with longtime Democratic strategist James Carville criticizing the focus on replacing older Democrats instead of combating Republicans.
Despite hurdles, DNC Chair Ken Martin congratulated Scott on his victory, emphasizing the importance of strong Democratic leadership in advocating for working families. The election results highlight a shift towards supporting progressive candidates in the political landscape.
