Darline Graham, Ralph Norman go head-to-head in South Carolina’s GOP Senate runoff

U.S. Senator Darline Graham and U.S. Representative Ralph Norman are competing in a Republican primary runoff in South Carolina this Tuesday. The special election is being held to fill the Senate seat left vacant following the sudden death of the late Senator Lindsey Graham one month ago. The candidates are currently engaged in a two-week runoff campaign to secure the nomination.

The election serves as a significant indicator of political influence within the Republican party, specifically regarding the endorsement of President Trump. The President has publicly backed Darline Graham, who is the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, positioning the contest as a test of his standing among South Carolina voters.
