Project 2025 Architect Quits South Carolina Senate Race and Endorses Lindsey Graham Challenger

  • On Friday, conservative operative Paul Dans withdrew from the South Carolina Republican Senate primary, endorsing businessman Mark Lynch to challenge incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham.
  • President Donald Trump celebrated the exit on Truth Social, reaffirming his support for Graham while attacking Lynch as a "lunatic" who would "be a DISASTER" for the party.
  • Attributing the failure to conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, Trump claimed Dans' campaign collapsed because he received the "kiss of death" from Carlson's endorsement, whom Trump recently sparred with over Iran.
  • Citing his desire to oust the senator, Dans declared "we cannot Make America Great Again until Lady Graham is taken out of office," while urging voters to support Lynch.
  • Ahead of the June 9 primary, Senator Lindsey Graham remains the incumbent frontrunner seeking a fifth term, despite facing a crowded field of Republican and third-party challengers.
