GOP Primary for South Carolina Senate Seat Heads to Runoff

2 hours ago 0

The special GOP primary set for Tuesday aims to fill the vacancy left by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham on the November ballot. Despite an endorsement from former President Donald Trump and his strong influence within the Republican base, the primary is likely progressing to a runoff. Rep. Ralph Norman and Sen. Darline Graham are expected contenders in the ensuing GOP runoff, according to multiple sources. The race has garnered significant attention, particularly after Graham’s unexpected passing.

President Trump swiftly expressed his support for Darline Graham, the late senator’s sister, endorsing her candidacy for a full six-year Senate term. Graham’s backing from Trump underscores her prominent position in the race, given his influence and appeal among Republican voters. The outcome of this primary may significantly impact the political landscape in South Carolina and potentially influence broader GOP strategies.
