Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a South Carolina rally for Darline Graham ahead of her Republican Senate runoff against Ralph Norman. The article describes criticism of Graham’s debate answer on national security and the stakes of the race for the Senate seat.
Reuters reports that Trump will campaign for Darline Graham at a rally in Myrtle Beach before her runoff against Ralph Norman. Graham drew surprise at a debate after saying national security was not her area of expertise; she later defended her candor and said voters cared about issues including cost of living, gun rights and immigration.
Graham and Norman advanced from a 10-candidate Republican primary, where Graham received 32.8% and Norman 24.6%. The runoff winner will face Democrat Annie Andrews. The article says Trump’s endorsement of Graham drew criticism from some South Carolina Republicans, while former governor Nikki Haley argued that national-security knowledge is critical for a senator.
