Scott: ‘There’s No Doubt’ Darline Graham Is Qualified to Be Senator

Scott said Graham is qualified to serve after she stumbled on a national security question, as she faces a runoff for a full Senate term.

  • On Sunday, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott defended Sen. Darline Graham on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' calling her 'ready for prime time' despite criticism of her national security debate performance.
  • Appointed to finish her late brother Sen. Lindsey Graham's term, Darline Graham now seeks a full six-year term facing Rep. Ralph Norman of the House Freedom Caucus in Tuesday's runoff.
  • During a candidates' debate last week, Graham admitted she is 'not that informed on national security' when asked about Taiwan and the South China Sea, though she emphasized military support.
  • At an August 21 rally, President Donald Trump campaigned for Graham, claiming she 'knows politics well' and urging supporters to vote for her in a significant test of his influence.
  • Tuesday's runoff serves as a pivotal test of voter preference between a political newcomer and an experienced legislator, as scrutiny over foreign policy expertise shapes the final decision.
