GOP Rushes $5M to Save Sen. Graham as Trump Calls Opponent 'Trannie'
The spending is meant to counter tight polling and bolster Darline Graham with TV ads as Republicans seek to protect a seat they view as vulnerable.
- On Tuesday, the Senate Leadership Fund announced a $5 million investment in South Carolina to support Republican nominee Darline Graham as her race against Democrat Annie Andrews tightens in the reliably red state.
- South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham to the seat in July following her brother Sen. Lindsey Graham's sudden death, and President Donald Trump later endorsed her despite questions about her national security knowledge.
- Recent polls show the candidates in a statistical tie; Andrews' campaign has spent $6.1 million on ads since September, vastly outpacing Republican spending in the race.
- President Trump attacked Andrews using slurs on Truth Social, prompting Former Republican Gov. David Beasley to label the rhetoric "abhorrent" and criticize the campaign's tone.
- The Senate Leadership Fund recently canceled ad spending in North Carolina and is now prioritizing resources in South Carolina and Kansas to defend vulnerable Republican seats as Election Day approaches.
