Darline Graham, Ralph Norman vie to replace Lindsey Graham on ballot
Graham has said outsider status is a plus, while pointing to Trump’s backing.
South Carolina's special Senate primary runoff has concluded, with political newcomer Darline Graham securing a win to replace her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, on the ballot. President Donald Trump endorsed Graham, who also received support from Rep. Ralph Norman, a conservative member of the Freedom Caucus. Graham, who struck a reflective tone at her victory celebration, acknowledged the challenging period her family had endured and expressed gratitude to supporters, her late brother, and President Trump.
She framed her outsider status as an asset, emphasizing Trump's backing as a key reason for conservatives to support her bid for a full term. However, Norman argued that his experience makes him a more trustworthy choice for conservatives compared to a relative unknown like Graham.
