COLUMBIA, S.C.

Lowcountry lawmaker Peter McCoy is set to become the next United States attorney for the state of South Carolina.

Late Wednesday, President Donald Trump nominated the Republican state representative to the seat previously held by Sherri Lydon, now a federal judge.

McCoy, 41, a Charleston native, still must be recommended by the Senate Judiciary Committee and approved by the full Senate. Committee chairman US Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday he is confident McCoy will be confirmed.
