Sad News: South Carolina Republican State Senator Roger Nutt, 59, has announced that he is resigning from his seat after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Nutt was elected in 2024 pic.twitter.com/8bnaKYqJ6b — The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) August 14, 2025 The State has more: Before the Senate, Nutt served in the House from 2021-2024. Before then, Nutt served on the Spartanburg County Council for 10 years. “After seeking medical care for what I believed were long-Covid symptoms, I was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease,” Nutt said in news release announcing his resignation. “While we are saddened by this news, we will face this trial with faith in the grace of God that has sustained our lives, our marriage and my career in public service for nearly fifteen years.” Nutt’s resignation will trigger a special election. State Rep. Bobby Cox, R-Greenville, said he plans to run in that election, and is resigning from his own seat to allow for a concurrent special election. “I really can’t express how much I appreciate the comments and sentiments from people all over the State. God is surely giving me a different path than I ever dreamed, but I’ve learned along the way that His ways are always perfect. I thank you for your prayers and comments!” Nutt said. I really can't express how much I appreciate the comments and sentiments from people all over the State. God is surely giving me a different path than I ever dreamed, but I've learned along the way that His ways are always perfect. I thank you for your prayers and comments!… — Senator Roger A. Nutt (@RogerNutt) August 13, 2025 South Carolina Daily Gazette provided further info: Following the resignation, the Senate set the dates of an election to fill Nutt’s seat, as per the timing rules in state law: Filing will open Aug. 29. Party primaries (if needed) will be Oct. 21. The special election will be Dec. 23. “I was deeply saddened to learn of Senator Nutt’s resignation and the circumstances that led to his decision,” Senate President Thomas Alexander said in a statement with the election schedule. “In the time I had the privilege to serve alongside him, I was struck by his knowledge, tireless work ethic, and unwavering commitment to his constituents.” Voters sent Nutt to the Senate to replace Sen. Scott Talley of Spartanburg, who opted not to seek a third term. Nutt said Talley asked him to run, but others wanting the seat included former Sen. Lee Bright, a firebrand Republican who lost his reelection bid to Talley in 2016. Bright placed first in the four-way primary last June, but Nutt ultimately defeated Bright in the runoff by fewer than 150 votes. While in the House, Nutt voted with the Freedom Caucus much of the time, but he didn’t want to join the ultra-conservative group that split off from the main Republican Caucus out of fear of limiting his options, he said ahead of last year’s primary runoff.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed on Thursday that President Trump would seek a third term in office. “I said it a moment ago, ‘Wake Up America.’ Wake up. You will not have a country if he rigs this election,” Newsom said. “You will have a president who will be running for a third term. Mark my word. I wasn’t exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a ‘Trump 2028’ hat,” he continued. “These guys are not screwing around,” Newsom added. Here’s the clip: NEWSOM: "Trump will be running for a third term. Mark my word." "I received, in the mail, a 'Trump 2028' hat." "These guys are not screwing around." pic.twitter.com/pkiCeadEz4 — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) August 14, 2025 Newsom and other Democratic leaders announced California would move forward with a plan to redraw its congressional maps to help Democrats gain five additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. “Today is ‘Liberation Day’ in the State of California,” Newsom declared. NOW: Newsom steals President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ message — “Today is ‘Liberation Day’ in the State of California.’” Have Democrats ever had an original thought? Or an original policy that isn’t just: oppose Trump? The ENTIRETY of this clip is embarrassing… pic.twitter.com/6DJo3xvzKm — The Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) August 14, 2025 ABC7 Los Angeles provided further info: The move is a direct response to a Republican-led effort in Texas, pushed by President Donald Trump as his party seeks to maintain its slim House majority after the midterm elections. Texas lawmakers are considering a new map that would help them send five more Republicans to Washington, but Democrats have so far halted a vote by leaving the state to prevent their GOP colleagues from meeting Trump’s demands. “We can’t stand back and watch this democracy disappear district by district all across the country,” Newsom said Thursday as he called for a Nov. 4 special election to put the new maps before voters. State lawmakers must officially declare the special election, which they plan to do next week. The Democrats’ proposed maps still haven’t been released. That’s expected Friday. Then lawmakers plan to quickly approve them next week. Democrats hold supermajorities in both chambers. Newsom claimed Trump’s presidency would end in 17 months, saying he would lose the midterms. Trump knows he'll lose so he's rigging the system. pic.twitter.com/quQR9b0ycA — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) August 14, 2025 ABC News has more: He said the state government will affirm its commitment to the state’s independent redistricting commission after the 2030 census, “but we’re asking the voters for their consent to do midterm redistricting in 2026, 2028 and 2030 for the congressional maps to respond to what’s happening in Texas … and we’ll do so in a way that also affirms our desire as a state to level the playing field all across the United States.” In a campaign video released concurrently with his announcement, Newsom framed the issue in stark terms. “It is a five-alarm fire for democracy in the United States of America. Donald Trump, who is trying to light a torch on democracy, continues to try to rig the election,” Newsom says in the video. As the governor was speaking, federal agents appeared to be conducting an immigration enforcement operation outside of the venue.

Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis announced that he is preparing to open a second immigration detention facility, dubbed “Departation Depot,” following the completion of “Alligator Alcatraz.”
