A Statement From Chair Christale Spain On Trump and Republicans Forcing South Carolina Families to Spend $2,700 More on Everyday Costs

Aug 26, 2026

“South Carolina families are getting squeezed by high costs, yet Donald Trump and South Carolina Republicans are turning a blind eye. Despite jacking up costs so high that working South Carolinians can barely afford to pay their bills, put food on the table, or take a trip to the doctor’s office, Republicans would rather double down on their corrupt agenda and make their billionaire friends richer. Let’s be clear: Trump and Republicans are not on the side of working families and are forcing families to spend more. Democrats are fighting tirelessly to crack down on Republicans’ corruption and bring down costs for every South Carolinian.”
