President Donald Trump campaigned in South Carolina for interim senator Darline Graham Nordone ahead of a close Republican runoff, but did not name or criticize her opponent, Ralph Norman. The article considers whether Trump’s endorsement will help Nordone.
Trump spoke at a rally for Nordone, whom he has endorsed for the Republican nomination. He said he had urged her to run for a full term and praised her, while Nordone’s campaign message emphasized fighting for the America First agenda and South Carolina families. Russell Fry, Tim Scott and Governor Henry McMaster also showed support for her candidacy.
The article says Trump discussed national issues and warned that Democrats would impeach him if they regained control of Congress. It highlights his failure to mention Norman by name, despite the close runoff, and offers possible explanations for that omission. The article says the runoff winner will face Annie Andrews, Kasie Whitener, Mark Hackett and other candidates in the general election.
