Sen. Darline Graham wins the Republican Senate primary runoff in South Carolina
Trump-backed Darline Graham won with about 52% of the vote and will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November.
- On Tuesday, Senator Darline Graham defeated Representative Ralph Norman in South Carolina's Republican Senate primary runoff, capturing 52.4% of the vote to secure the GOP nomination for a full term.
- The special election followed Senator Lindsey Graham's sudden death on July 11; Governor Henry McMaster appointed his sister, Darline Graham, to fill the seat temporarily before she announced her candidacy for a full term.
- President Donald Trump bolstered Graham's candidacy with a Myrtle Beach rally on August 21 and $830,000 in MAGA Inc. super PAC spending. Her campaign overcame debate scrutiny when she said she was "not that informed on national security."
- Representative Ralph Norman conceded Tuesday night, pledging to support Graham in November. She now faces Democratic nominee Annie Andrews, a Charleston pediatrician, on November 3 in a race widely expected to remain Republican.
- South Carolina has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1998, positioning Graham as the heavy favorite. The runoff result tests President Trump's endorsement power within the state's GOP heading into November.
