President Donald Trump traveled to Myrtle Beach to campaign for interim Sen. Darline Graham before her Republican Senate runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman. The contest will determine the party’s nominee for the Senate seat left vacant by Lindsey Graham’s death.
Trump’s Myrtle Beach visit was scheduled ahead of the Aug. 25 Republican runoff between Darline Graham and Ralph Norman. Graham was appointed to the vacant Senate seat by Gov. Henry McMaster and has made Trump’s endorsement a central part of her campaign. Trump had endorsed her before she officially launched her campaign and previously held a tele-rally for her.
Graham has said she will fight for Trump’s agenda and has highlighted border security, the SAVE Act and household costs. After she stumbled on a question about U.S. interests in Taiwan, she said national security was not her area; Trump had not publicly commented on the episode. Norman said he would have liked Trump’s endorsement but that South Carolina Republican voters would decide who represents them in the Senate.

26 OUTLETSPresident Trump campaigned for Darline Graham ahead of South Carolina’s Republican Senate runoff against Ralph Norman. Left-leaning outlets center Graham’s unanswered question about accepting the 2020 election result and her readiness for the Senate. Center outlets mostly report Trump’s rally and endorsement as campaign news, with some also noting criticism of Graham’s debate answer. Right-leaning outlets connect Trump’s backing to his agenda and influence in the race, while one outlet questions his endorsement and favors Norman.
