12 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Trump endorsed Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina’s Republican primary and that Paul Dans withdrew his challenge. The coverage presents both as developments in the contest for the Republican nomination. Left-leaning outlets focus on Trump’s reaction to Tucker Carlson and the primary, including his claim that Carlson’s endorsement helped sink Dans’s bid. Center outlets connect Trump’s backing of Graham with Dans’s withdrawal, while one account also reports Greene’s criticism of the endorsement. Right-leaning outlets foreground the endorsement and Trump’s disparagement of challenger Mark Lynch, with coverage framing the contest through MAGA and America First politics.
