McMaster Revives Push to Oust Biden Kingmaker from Congress with Special Session Call
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has convened the state legislature to oust Rep. Jim Clyburn, a key Biden ally from Congress, in a move backed by former President Donald Trump.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has convened the state legislature to push for the removal of Democrat Joe Manchin from Congress, who is seen as a key swing vote in the Senate, following a similar effort backed by former President Donald Trump. The move comes after years of speculation about Trump's plans to target Manchin, whom he views as unreliable on issues critical to his base. McMaster has long been a close ally of Trump and has vowed to support efforts that align with the former president's policies. By targeting Manchin, McMaster hopes to increase Republican control in Congress.
