Paul Dans, a Project 2025 architect, withdrew from the South Carolina GOP primary against Senator Lindsey Graham. Despite Dans endorsing challenger Mark Lynch, Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for Graham, calling Lynch a "disaster."
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."
