Young Dem Wins South Carolina House Seat In Lindsey Graham’s Backyard

A 24-year-old Democrat scored a sweeping victory in Senator Lindsey Graham’s home turf, winning a seat in the South Carolina House of Representatives.

Keishan Scott claimed the seat for rural District 50 with a commanding lead of nearly 41 points over Republican challenger William Oden, according to unofficial results released Tuesday night by the South Carolina Election Commission.

It is a district that then-Vice President Kamala Harris won in the 2024 presidential election, as noted by The Daily Beast.

“This victory is definitely not mine alone,” Scott said in a victory speech posted to his Facebook page. “It belongs to all of the people of District 50… I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your vote of confidence.”

The win makes Scott the youngest member of the South Carolina House, which remains dominated by Republicans. His victory was hailed by the Democratic National Committee’s chairman, Ken Martin.

“As long as Trump and MAGA Republicans peddle an out-of-touch agenda that puts billionaires’ interests first and takes away health care from millions of Americans, they will continue to sink and lose,” DNC chairperson Ken Martin said in a statement.

Scott’s victory comes as Graham has taken some heat for a visit this week to Ukraine where some of his comments were seen as counterproductive to President Donald Trump’s policies involving the war-torn country.

In a video shared on X, the senator stated that Congress is prepared to take action against Russia, regardless of whether President Trump supports it.
