Darline Graham Leads South Carolina Senate Primary as Republicans Prepare for Runoff
Darline Graham, appointed to the Senate by Governor Henry McMaster following her brother Lindsey Graham's death, is leading the Republican primary in South Carolina. Despite her lead, she has not secured the majority needed to avoid a runoff. The primary has become a competitive race with candidates like Rep. Ralph Norman, Rep. Russell Fry, and former Gov. Mark Sanford vying for the second spot. The race is marked by generational and geographical divides, with Graham performing well among older voters and in certain regions, while her challengers have strongholds in other areas.
