MAGA Inc. Makes $827K Final Push for Darline Graham in SC Runoff

The Trump-endorsed interim senator faces Congressman Ralph Norman in Tuesday’s closely watched Republican Senate runoff.

President Donald Trump launched a final push for Senator Darline Graham in South Carolina's Republican U.S. Senate runoff, with the political action committee, MAGA Inc., spending nearly $827,000 in support of her campaign. The super PAC focused on text messages and phone calls to voters on Monday, according to federal filings. Graham, who is the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, will face U.S. Representative Ralph Norman in the November election.

Graham defended her decision to focus on legislative experience rather than national security during a recent debate. Trump praised Graham's answer and emphasized her affordability focus compared to her brother's focus on foreign policy. A senior adviser to Trump, Patrick Casale, explained that the endorsement was partly due to a "tremendous friendship" with Lindsey Graham and the belief that Graham would be a "breath of fresh air" in contrasting her brother's foreign affairs focus.

The Kalshi traders gave Graham a 67 percent chance of winning the runoff, while Norman was at 33 percent. The winner of the runoff will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November.
