Trump Urges Darline Graham to Seek Full Senate Term

Trump urged newly appointed Darline Graham to seek a full Senate term and offered his endorsement; she had been appointed to fill the seat left by her late brother, Lindsey Graham. Left-leaning outlets focus on Sen. Jon Ossoff's election-fraud accusation against Trump, not Graham's Senate bid. Center outlets frame Trump's endorsement as a development in the race, often noting Graham had not decided whether to run. Right-leaning outlets similarly focus on the endorsement and contest, with one reporting Graham's later decision to run.
