In this critical moment for the American project, I’ve been thinking a lot about what comes next. Over the past year and a half, I’ve put those thoughts on paper, and they’ve grown into a book I’m proud to share with you. My latest book, NEXT, is not a policy manual. It’s a look at how our nation got to this point, an argument for why this is the moment to build something better, and a case for the principles that should guide us as we do. NEXT arrives at your local bookseller and on your favorite audiobook platforms on January 26th and is available for pre-order today. I hope you’ll read it. simonandschusterpublishing.c…

Two years ago, standing on The Yard, a night like last night felt all but impossible. This is unreal.
The American voter dealt President Trump a historic rebuke on a scale not seen since 1974, propelling Democrats into control of both houses of Congress with commanding wins in places they hadn’t carried in decades. wapo.st/4z3ZzYR

Today, South Carolina made Dr. Annie Andrews the first woman elected from our state to serve in the United States Senate. I could not be prouder of Dr. Andrews and the terrific campaign she ran. She has spent her career caring for South Carolina’s children and families. On the campaign trail, she demonstrated that same level of compassion and service, making clear that she will fight for the needs of every South Carolinian. I congratulate Dr. Andrews on this monumental achievement and look forward to the leadership she will take to the Senate.
South Carolina, you have shown the nation — in an era of partisan divides, of vitriol and namecalling, in a politics dominated by billionaires, special interests, and insiders in Washington — that we will not bow down. We will not back down. And we will chart our own course.

Dr. Henrie Monteith Treadwell was a true legend. Her courage in 1963 paved the way for me and for generations of Gamecocks to come. RIP 🙏🏾
Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Henrie Monteith Treadwell, one of three students who desegregated the University of South Carolina in 1963. She died Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026. At just 16, she filed the lawsuit that opened Carolina’s doors. In 1965, she became the university’s first Black graduate since Reconstruction. Her courage changed this university forever, and every Gamecock since walks in her footsteps. Thank you, Dr. Treadwell. Forever to thee. Story: sc.edu/uofsc/posts/2026/10/u…

Before winning UCLA’s first NCAA women’s basketball championship, coach Cori Close thanked the Dawn Staley, the University of South Carolina coach, for setting an example of how to run a program and “invest in a community.” After the game, Staley said Close was “one of those people who really works at making our game better.”
