South Carolina Republicans vote if Lindsey Graham's sister should inherit Senate bid
Ten Republican candidates vie for the nomination to replace the late Senator Lindsey Graham, with the winner advancing to face Democrat Annie Andrews.
- South Carolina Republicans head to the polls Tuesday to select a nominee for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the death of longtime Senator Lindsey Graham.
- Following the July 11 death of Lindsey Graham, his sister Senator Darline Graham was appointed to finish his term and now competes against nine other candidates for the full seat.
- Polling shows a tight three-way race between Senator Graham, Representative Russell Fry, and Representative Ralph Norman, despite President Donald Trump's endorsement of the senator to secure his party's legacy.
- If no candidate secures a majority of the vote on Tuesday, the top two finishers will advance to an August 25 runoff, ahead of the November 3 general election against Democrat Annie Andrews.
- The outcome of this race impacts the 120th Congress, where Republicans currently maintain a 53-45 Senate majority, making the nominee's victory critical for preserving the party's narrow control of the chamber.
