  "summary": "Democrat Annie Andrews, a 45-year-old pediatrician, defeated Republican Senator Darline Graham in a South Carolina Senate race, according to projections by CBS News. Andrews campaigned on healthcare affordability and fighting corruption, while criticizing Graham for a lack of experience regarding national security.\n\nGraham, 62, had been appointed to the seat following the death of her brother, longtime Senator Lindsey Graham. Before her Senate appointment, she served as the commissioner of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind and won a special primary to appear on the ballot for a full six-year term. NPR also reported that Andrews defeated the incumbent Graham.\n\nThe race became more competitive than expected, prompting a $5 million investment in October from the Senate Leadership Fund and an $827,000 contribution in August from the Trump-controlled super PAC MAGA Inc.",
