Rep. James Clyburn Announces He Will Seek Reelection
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) announced Thursday he will seek reelection, ending speculation that he may retire after more than 30 years in Congress. He spent years in House Democratic leadership, serving as Majority Whip alongside former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). “It made me feel necessary,” said the South Carolina Democrat. When a reporter asked about Democrats clamoring for younger leaders, Clyburn brought up a fellowship program he’s funded for 13 years that helps to develop the next generation of leadership in the South Carolina Democratic Party. “This selfish decision does such a disservice to his district, to the Democratic Party, and to the country,” said Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something, which recruits young progressives to seek office.

What’s in the ‘SAVE America Act’ and why is it so important to Donald Trump?
Additionally, the “SAVE America Act” would instruct the federal government to investigate and potentially deport non-citizens who have been unlawfully registered to vote. President Donald Trump delivers remarks during an event at the Port of Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas, on February 27. Given its widespread use in both red and blue states, getting Republicans united behind ending most mail voting would be a challenge. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, asked Wednesday about Trump’s proposal to end most mail voting, said “there were questions” lawmakers were asking about the demand. But even the version of the “SAVE America Act” that already passed the House faces near-insurmountable roadblocks in the Senate.
