A special Senate primary in South Carolina next month is drawing attention as a field of Republican candidates prepares to test the political influence of President Donald Trump.
Sen. Darline Graham, the Republican candidate from South Carolina, attended the funeral of her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, alongside her husband Larry Nardone and President Donald Trump. The solemn event took place on a Tuesday at the Washington National Cathedral, as captured in a photograph by Alex Brandon from AP Photo.
President Trump has openly backed Sen. Darline Graham in her efforts to secure a full term in the position her brother once held. With the election just under two weeks away, expectations mounted regarding the president’s ability to sway voters.
Despite Trump’s endorsement, influential conservative activists within South Carolina remain unconvinced. This sentiment suggests that the upcoming primary could serve as a significant measure of President Trump’s current political influence in the state.
