Trump’s MAGA Inc. makes last-minute buy for Darline Graham in South Carolina runoff
The president’s super PAC spent more than $827,000 on voter phone calls and texts for Graham — even as battleground Republicans have been clamoring for money.
President Donald Trump is utilizing a portion of his largely unused $400 million MAGA Inc. war chest to support Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina's upcoming runoff election, according to campaign finance reports. The super PAC has donated over $827,000 for Graham's campaign, primarily through voter phone calls and text messages, in preparation for her competitive GOP runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman slated for Tuesday.
This substantial expenditure marks the first significant investment MAGA Inc. has made this year on behalf of one of Trump's chosen candidates. The reports, released by the Federal Election Commission on Monday, show Trump's heightened focus on bolstering Graham's chances, who is a political newcomer in the race. Graham's victory would also underscore Trump's continued influence in Republican primaries following setbacks for his preferred candidates in states like Michigan, Minnesota, and Iowa.
