News
Zyon Khalifa is not directly described in these reports, and the coverage is mostly about South Carolina congressional redistricting rather than this candidate. The main development is that South Carolina lawmakers are preparing a possible special session to redraw the state’s congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms. The effort could also affect the timing of congressional primaries, but no final map has been adopted yet.
