South Carolina Republicans try to extend winning streak as Sen. Lindsey Graham seeks fifth term
Graham avoided a runoff after spending at least $27 million, and Andrews led the Democratic race to set up a November matchup, officials said.
- South Carolina voters headed to polls on Tuesday to decide nominees for governor and U.S. Senate, testing President Donald Trump's sway over Republican voters in a state he carried three times.
- Republican candidates have aggressively courted Trump's endorsement, viewing his support as a powerful asset despite evidence from recent races that his backing is not a guarantee of success.
- Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, backed by Gov. Henry McMaster and Trump, faces primary challengers, while Sen. Lindsey Graham seeks a fifth term with the president's endorsement.
- Requiring a majority of the vote to avoid a June 23 runoff, candidates must reach that threshold; if no candidate achieves it, the top two finishers will compete in a two-week runoff.
- These results precede the Nov. 3 general election and will influence the early stages of the 2028 presidential cycle, as Democrats seek their first statewide victory in 20 years.
