Trump Boosts Darline Graham as South Carolina GOP Runoff Ends
Trump campaigned for Darline Graham as Ralph Norman attacked super PAC spending and special-interest influence in the race.
- On Tuesday, South Carolina Republicans will choose their nominee to replace the late Senator Lindsey Graham, with President Donald Trump backing Interim Senator Darline Graham in the runoff against Congressman Ralph Norman.
- Congressman Ralph Norman, a wealthy developer fresh off an unsuccessful gubernatorial bid, faces Interim Senator Darline Graham, appointed by Governor Henry McMaster and thrust into the political spotlight with her interim appointment.
- Norman has portrayed Graham as inexperienced, saying in an interview that the "Washington elite" who funded her were "dictating the terms and giving her the political answers." President Donald Trump rallied for Graham in Myrtle Beach on Friday.
- Graham held campaign events in Aiken and Seneca, while Norman concluded his runoff campaign in Greenville County, a populous region that typically contributes the most votes in statewide Republican primaries.
- The winner of Tuesday's runoff will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November's general election. No Democrat has won a statewide-elected office in South Carolina in two decades.
