Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) will run for reelection this November, he announced Thursday, bucking calls for generational change in his party even as other longtime Democratic Party power brokers plan to leave Washington.

“Today I’m going to answer a question that is always asked,” Clyburn said at the South Carolina Democratic Headquarters in downtown Columbia. “What is there unfinished or what more you need to do? Well, it’s in the Preamble of our Constitution. We exist in pursuit of a more perfect union.”

Clyburn, 85, was first elected in 1992 and has served 17 terms in the House, including a stint as majority whip. Working alongside Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, he helped shepherd many of the key Democratic policy wins of the era, including the Affordable Care Act and the Inflation Reduction Act.

The coming legislative session will mark his first without Pelosi and Hoyer as House colleagues. The pair is set to retire next year.

Clyburn, a longtime Democratic Party power broker, became the first Black congressman to represent South Carolina in nearly 100 years. He’s evolved into a kingmaker in his home state and for the Democratic Party nationally.

He is a fierce defender of the state’s early primary, and his endorsement of Joe Biden in January 2020 helped catapult what was a flagging campaign all the way to the nomination and eventually the White House.

Clyburn’s 6th District is heavily Democratic and he will be the big favorite to win again, although some Republicans in the state have sought to target his seat in redistricting.

IN FULL

Democratic Congresswoman JoyceBeatty filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump, claimingshe was excluded from an upcoming Kennedy Center board meeting.

The complaint was based on her not receiving an invitation,which was later discovered in her spam folder.

“The Board meeting at which the trustees purported to approve the Kennedy Center’s name change was a thinly-veiled sham. The meeting was held at the home of one of Defendant Trump’s supporters, whom he had installed to the Board.

No notice was provided that a name change was being considered,” the lawsuit alleged.

But an aide’s quiet update on the situation has now stated, “On March 6, 2026, after learning that Defendant’s counsel represented to the Court that the Center sent the notice to Congresswoman Beatty’s personal email address, I asked Congresswoman Beatty to search her personal email.

She was able to locate the notice in the spam folder of her personal email address.”
