Flash forward: McMaster successfully abandoned the run -off to win his first four -year term in 2018, after which he easily slid to re -election in 2022, and as long as he would enter into history textbooks for his duration of service, it is worth finding out what has done in the office.

  • He led South Carolina through Covid-19 pandemicthrough many natural disasters and $ 9 billion VC summer A nuclear scandal.
  • His term of office includes Economic grace and massive population growthTurning South Carolina one of the fastest growing states.
  • He enjoys joint relations with the legislature, which has led to many of Governor’s priorities Converting to success, including more money for teachers, school resources and conservation efforts.
  • He was watching Republican growth In the legislature -both chambers already have GOP supermers -which has led to more expansion legislation for the election of a school, less restrictive laws on weapons and a tougher ban on abortion.

After McMaster’s speech, indicate Senator Margi Bright MatthewsD-Colleton, will deliver Democrats Answer. (Bright-Matthews is one of the two women currently serving in the Senate.)

For legislators: Unfortunately, this year we skip individual interviews after live broadcasting. However, we will record an episode of This week in South CarolinaS

Please don’t we.

What are we looking for: The state of the state is an annual event that allows the governor to use the bully pulpit to request the legislature to accept his agenda and executive budgetS Most of what McMaster will call on legislators to do on Wednesday night will be a coincidence of what he has already requested in his budget. But every year there is always an attempt at a memorable line. Last year, McMaster said he would fight the unions “At the Gates of Hell” and last year he called on the General Assembly to correct the judicial system for election and to give the governor more to say.

So, in short, we expect Zinker. What? He will not say.
