  "account": "On Tuesday night, South Carolina voters elected a Republican governor and a Democratic senator, flipping the Senate seat that President Donald Trump had previously appointed. Democrat Annie Andrews, a former pediatrician, defeated Republican incumbent Sen. Darline Graham. This marked the first time a Democrat had won a Senate race in South Carolina since 1998. Graham, a longtime Republican, struggled due to perceptions of nepotism, as Trump had backed her sister for the position. Andrews, who raised $10.8 million for her campaign, largely focused on working across party lines and not running against Trump.",
  "summary": "Trump put Darline Graham in her late brother’s seat and even rallied for her thrice. She ran about 10 points behind her own party’s candidate for governor.",
