District 1

The 1st district straddles the Atlantic coast of the state, and includes most of Charleston. The incumbent was Democrat Joe Cunningham, who flipped the district and was first elected with 50.6% of the vote in 2018.^[1] Cunningham narrowly lost his seat to Republican state Representative Nancy Mace in 2020. Once a solidly Republican district, the 1st district has become competitive in recent elections due to the realignment of Charleston's suburban population to the Democratic Party. However, increased turnout in the heavily conservative Beaufort area undermined this trend, allowing Mace to overcome Cunningham's margin in Charleston County.^[2]

Footnotes

^ 2020 is the only election in which Richland County was included as part of this iteration of the 5th district; the returns from a small portion of a single precinct (Pontiac 2) make up the entirety of ballots cast by Richland voters in the district's election for U.S. representative. As such, its presence is not reflected in either the county or precinct result maps.
