What would you say if I told you that there is a Republican House candidate who can topple Rep. Jim Clyburn, one of the most powerful people in American politics? Just two years ago, Duke Buckner, with a paltry $200,000 in funding, got 37.8% of the vote in his first campaign against Clyburn.
Clyburn is beatable, and Duke has the intelligence, charisma, life experience, guts, values, and energy to do it.
Duke Buckner aims to change life for the people in the Sixth District, not by sending pork their way but by returning America to first principles: The free market, hard work, self-reliance, and a strong moral foundation grounded in the Bible, not the Communist Manifesto.
Duke has two other attributes that intelligent people often lack and that Republicans especially seem to lack: He's an organized thinker, so his ideas flow logically, which makes his arguments more compelling.
Duke knew he'd found his political home when he walked into the South Carolina Republican Party and first heard its creed, which Duke recites from memory with real passion.
Clyburn may have grown up in the Sixth District, but he is a Democrat party animal whose life and loyalties are in D.C. By contrast, Duke has deep roots in the District for he not only grew up there, but it's also where he ran his newspaper and now has his law practice.
In the 2022 election, which was Duke's first time running for House, he got 37.8% of the vote.
