Rep. Clyburn on His Seat Amid S.C. Redistricting Push: ‘The Voters Will Have the Last Word on This’

EXCERPT:

CLYBURN: “The voters will have the last word on this. And I don’t know why people think I cannot get reelected if they redistrict South Carolina. Now, I have a district that’s about 45 percent African-American. I have no idea what the number will be after the legislature finishes. But whatever that number is, I will be running on a record and a promise, my record and America’s promise. So I’m going to run irrespective of what the makeup of the district might be, because I believe that I have a record that is very acceptable to the South Carolina voter and I have a good understanding of America’s promise. And we’ll run on that.”
