A special election is underway in South Carolina to fill a vacant Senate seat. The contest has been expedited, with a short filing period and primary timeline. A runoff election is scheduled for August 25, with the winner facing a Democratic opponent in the general election.

The Democratic nominee has been identified, but the party has not held a Senate seat in the state for a long time. Further details about the election and its candidates are available from news sources, including the outcome of the primary and the candidates who are moving forward in the process.
