The chair of the South Carolina Democratic party announced that they will not be seeking reelection.
Trav Robertson, the chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party, announced Wednesday that they won’t be seeking another term in the position.
Instead, Robertson told the Associated Press Wednesday that he will be backing longtime operative Christale Spain in her bid to become the first Black woman elected as the state party chair.
Robertson has led the state’s Democratic party since 2017, when he took over the position from Jaime Harrison, who now leads the Democratic National Committee.
The party’s national prominence has risen, with the DNC having voted to make South Carolina first to vote on its 2024 presidential primary calendar, but South Carolina Democrats haven’t seen a statewide win since 2006.
South Carolina Democrats select their chair in the spring.
