Sen. Darline Graham Advances to GOP Special Primary Runoff in South Carolina
Senator Darline Graham, appointed to complete her late brother's term, has advanced to a runoff in the GOP special primary for the U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina. Despite not securing enough votes to win outright, Graham will face Rep. Ralph Norman in the runoff scheduled for August 25. President Trump has endorsed Graham, highlighting her as a candidate who can continue her brother's legacy and support his administration's goals. The primary has seen a crowded field of candidates, with Graham focusing on cost of living issues and family budget concerns. Meanwhile, Rep. Russell Fry, who previously defeated former Rep. Tom Rice, is also in the race, facing criticism for not being sufficiently aligned with the MAGA movement.
