Week in Review - Election Upheaval, Logan Federico Update, Murdaugh Pushback
Saturday, 7 November, 2026
South Carolina’s 2026 election cycle made history - with Democrats winning their first statewide race in twenty years and capturing their first U.S. Senate victory since 1998. The Palmetto State’s perpetual minority party also flipped a congressional district - and ten seats in the S.C. House of Representatives. All of a sudden, South Carolina is home to competitive elections.In our opening segment, founding editor Will Folks recaps the electoral upheaval - most notably the stunning upset of interim U.S. senator Darline Graham Nordone by Democrat Annie Andrews. Folks also discusses narrower-than-expected Republican wins in multiple statewide offices - including governor-elect Alan Wilson’s victory over Democrat Jermaine Johnson.In our second segment, research director Jenn Wood joined us to discuss the aftermath of an aborted plea hearing in the case of Logan Federico - a 22-year-old student who was brutally murdered by a career criminal in Columbia, S.C. during the spring of 2025.Federico’s father, Stephen Federico, has become one of the most important figures in the fight to fix South Carolina’s badly broken “justice system.”Finally, Jenn and Will briefly previewed next week’s status conference in the retrial of accused killer Alex Murdaugh - a hearing which will focus on his attorneys’ bid to throw out the original murder indictments issued against him.---Chapters:0:00 - Political Overview24:31 - Logan Update35:58 - Murdaugh Madness---The Week In Review (WIR) is South Carolina's most indispensable news program — hosted by the independent media outlet that exposed the Alex Murdaugh crime and corruption dynasty.
