Senator Darline Graham Discusses Senate Transition and Legislative Priorities Amid GOP Primary
Senator Darline Graham recently discussed her initial experiences in the U.S. Senate, highlighting her legislative efforts and addressing criticisms from her Republican primary opponent, Russell Fry. Graham described her early weeks in Washington as intense, with Senate sessions extending into the early morning hours. She emphasized her role in passing the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, a measure she considers vital for President Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Additionally, Graham expressed her support for Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation and the Save America Act, which she hopes will be revisited by Congress. During a campaign conference call, Graham responded to Fry's allegations regarding her tenure as head of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind, dismissing them as false and politically motivated. She also outlined her priorities, including lowering healthcare costs and improving affordability for families.
