President Trump is scheduled to arrive at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) on Friday evening. While commercial flights will largely continue, the Horry County Department of Airports (HCDA) has indicated that some flights will experience temporary pauses around the President's arrival and departure times. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a temporary flight restriction over Myrtle Beach from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., encompassing a 12-nautical-mile inner ring and a 32-nautical-mile outer ring.

President Trump rallied in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for Sen. Darline Graham, urging his supporters to 'pretend' he is on the ballot for the upcoming midterm elections.

Trump has fully endorsed Graham, who was appointed to her brother's seat after his sudden death. Despite a recent debate gaffe where Graham stated national security was 'not my thing,' Trump defended her, highlighting her focus on 'kitchen table issues' like affordability and gas prices, contrasting it with her late brother's focus on international affairs.

Senator Darline Graham Faces Scrutiny Over National Security Knowledge in South Carolina Senate Primary

Senator Darline Graham, temporarily appointed to the South Carolina Senate seat following the death of her brother, Lindsey Graham, is facing significant criticism regarding her understanding of national security issues. During a South Carolina Senate debate, Graham was questioned about whether Taiwan and the South China Sea constitute national security concerns for the United States.

This admission has become a central point of discussion in the ongoing Republican runoff primary against Congressman Ralph Norman.
