South Carolina Republicans line up to run in special primary to replace late Sen. Lindsey Graham

- The one-week filing period for the special South Carolina Senate primary concludes Tuesday, with at least 10 Republicans launching a sprint to replace late Sen. Lindsey Graham on November ballots.

- Rep. Ralph Norman, Mark Sanford, and Rep. Russell Fry are among the candidates, with Fry promoting himself as a stalwart backer of President Donald Trump's policies.
- Candidates face a two-week sprint toward the August 11 special primary, where the winner will face Charleston physician Annie Andrews, who won her Democratic primary in June.
- A runoff election will be held on August 25 if no candidate secures a majority in the August 11 special primary, potentially extending the compressed timeline.
