Norman said his congressional record and Trump-aligned votes make him the stronger candidate as voters weigh the runoff for a six-year Senate term.
- Rep. Ralph Norman expressed frustration on Saturday regarding President Donald Trump's endorsement of Darline Graham in South Carolina's Republican Senate runoff, calling the decision a "head scratcher."

- Regarding Senate priorities, Norman emphasized his focus on the national debt and the SAVE Act, stating he would consult with Senate Majority Leader John Thune before seeking to replace uncooperative members.
