South Carolina Republicans are filing paperwork to enter a special primary election to fill the Senate seat of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. As of Monday, at least 10 Republican candidates have officially entered the race, with the filing period set to close at midday on Tuesday.
Candidates have been able to file for the contest since July 21. The contenders now face a compressed two-week campaign window leading up to the special GOP primary, which is scheduled for August 11.
The winner of the primary will secure a spot on the November ballot to vie for the vacant seat.
