Senate: GOP Supermajority

House: GOP Supermajority
36D
88R
South Carolina is on the DLCC’s 2026 Target Map.
2026 is a historic opportunity to break the GOP supermajority in the South Carolina House. Democrats need to gain just 6 House seats to break the GOP supermajority.
Democrats have recruited a candidate for every statehouse race for the first time in modern history. On the heels of growing Democratic momentum across the country, this is an important caucus milestone in gaining House seats and keeping the chamber in play in future cycles as more voters turn away from the failing GOP agenda.
South Carolina Republicans have introduced some of the most extreme legislation in the country, including legislation that would charge women who get abortions with murder. Breaking their supermajority would allow Democrats to prevent Republicans from passing extreme constitutional amendments and get back to lowering costs and protecting South Carolina families from extreme GOP legislation.
