Darline Graham won the South Carolina Republican special primary runoff against Ralph Norman and will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November. Norman conceded and said he would support Graham in the general election.
The Associated Press called the runoff for Graham at 9:01 p.m. Tuesday. The article says Graham benefited from President Donald Trump’s endorsement and a late influx of money from MAGA Inc.; she said she and Andrews have different backgrounds and visions for the state. It also notes that no Democrat has won a statewide elected office in South Carolina in two decades.
Norman criticized outside PAC spending and questioned Trump’s involvement in the race in his concession speech, but said he would support Graham. The article also recounts criticism of Graham’s time in Washington during Senate votes and her difficulty answering a debate question about U.S. interests in Taiwan and the South China Sea.
