South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said he’s calling the state legislature back for a special session in which lawmakers will be under pressure from Republican voters and President Donald Trump to redraw the state’s congressional districts.

In a social media post Thursday, McMaster said he is calling the session “to address the state budget and congressional districts beginning Friday, May 15, at 11:00 AM.”
