AP Interview: Ralph Norman questions Trump’s endorsement of Darline Graham in South Carolina runoff

Anderson, South Carolina (AP) — U.S. Representative Ralph Norman expressed puzzlement over President Donald Trump's endorsement of Senator Darline Graham in South Carolina's Republican Senate runoff. Norman argued that Graham's lack of political experience and his past support for Trump's policies make him the more suitable candidate to succeed the late Senator Lindsey Graham.

The special primary election, which took place on August 11, saw Norman finish second to Graham but neither candidate secured enough votes to win outright. The winner of the upcoming runoff on August 25 will face Democrat Annie Andrews in the general election in November.
