South Carolina’s seven congressional districts feature one safe Democratic seat in the 6th and six Republican-held districts, with the 1st emerging as the sole plausible pickup opportunity for Democrats due to Nancy Mace’s retirement and an open-seat contest. Recent primaries produced Democrat Nancy Lacore and Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt in the 1st, where nonpartisan forecasts project a Republican win probability around 74 percent amid the district’s R+6 lean and the national midterm environment. No mid-cycle redistricting altered the map, and forecasters rate the remaining districts as solid or safe Republican holds. Trader consensus therefore centers on Democrats retaining their single seat while assigning meaningful but limited probability to a second victory, reflecting the structural barriers and the competitive dynamics confined to one district.
