Sen. Darline Graham, US Rep. Ralph Norman advance to GOP runoff for US Senate in South Carolina
Darline Graham and Ralph Norman led a 10-candidate field, and the runoff winner is expected to face Democrat Annie Andrews in November.
- Sen. Darline Graham and U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman have advanced to a runoff in South Carolina’s special Republican primary to replace the late Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate.
- Graham, a political newcomer, received strong backing from President Donald Trump after Gov. Henry McMaster appointed her to temporarily serve out the remainder of her brother’s term.
- The Republican field included prominent figures such as Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry and former Gov. Mark Sanford, making the race a significant test of Trump’s influence among South Carolina Republicans.
- The Aug. 25 runoff will determine the Republican nominee, who will then face Democratic candidate Annie Andrews in the November general election in a state where Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate seat in decades.
