Last updatedJun 11, 2026

Keith Davenport is in the news because South Carolina is considering a special session to redraw its congressional districts ahead of the 2026 elections. He is among the Republican officials and candidates backing the effort, which Democrats say is a partisan move aimed at weakening the 6th Congressional District. The push comes as a recent Supreme Court ruling has intensified redistricting fights in several states.
