Paul Dans, an architect of Project 2025, has withdrawn from the South Carolina Republican Senate primary. He endorsed Mark Lynch to challenge incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham, while Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for Graham.
Center and center-left outlets like AP News and CNN frame the withdrawal of Project 2025 architect Paul Dans as a significant boost for Graham’s re-election path, though they note Dans endorsed a remaining challenger. In contrast, far-right sources such as WLT Report focus on Donald Trump’s vocal support for Graham and his disparagement of the primary field as "lunatics."
