Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., speaks outside the hush money criminal case of former president Donald Trump in New York on Thursday, May 16, 2024.

On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for July 26, 2025: a new contender enters the governor’s race—Congressman Ralph Norman; we also pivot to some big statewide news this week dealing with infrastructure issues and a death from a brain-eating amoeba earlier this month; Scott Morgan has a report on how the so-called Big Beautiful bill, now law, will affect SNAP benefits in our state; and more!

A programming note: we will be gone until August 12, at which time we will return with some special episodes for the subsequent two weeks since we’ll be, once again, on the road.

Leave us a voicemail at 803-563-7169 to share your thoughts about the topics covered on the show or just whatever's on your mind!
