President Trump campaigned in Myrtle Beach for Sen. Darline Graham, urging supporters to vote for her in Tuesday’s Republican Senate runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman. Graham is serving the remainder of her late brother’s term and is seeking a full term.
Trump told supporters to vote for Graham and encouraged them to act as though he were on the ballot. He has endorsed her, and Graham has said she wants to advance Trump’s agenda, including border security and the SAVE Act.
Graham described herself as a political newcomer and cited her state-agency leadership and time in the Senate as preparation for the job. After she struggled with a foreign-policy question about Taiwan during a debate, Trump told reporters she had been honest about not being up to speed on national security issues.

25 OUTLETSDonald Trump rallied in Myrtle Beach for Darline Graham ahead of her Republican Senate runoff against Ralph Norman, urging voters to support her. Center outlets largely report Trump’s endorsement and campaign appeal, often adding context about Graham’s debate answer and the race’s implications for his influence. Right-leaning outlets also focus on Trump’s intervention, but give more weight to whether it can help Graham and to concerns about her campaign; their articles differ in how much they support her.
