Four South Carolina Republicans are vying for the Senate seat left by Lindsey Graham. They faced off in a debate hosted by Nexstar Media Group. The candidates are Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman, former Rep. Mark Sanford, and a businessman.
In a separate development, South Dakota Democratic Senate nominee Julian Beaudion has dropped out of the race. According to POLITICO, he made this decision under pressure from within his party. Beaudion's withdrawal allows independent candidate Brian Bengs to run against Republican Sen. Mike Rounds in November.
Beaudion likened his decision to the failed Apollo 13 mission, saying "Houston, we have a problem." This move follows similar decisions by Democrats in Idaho and Nebraska, who have also dropped out to support independent candidates.
