South Carolina Republicans are casting ballots in a special primary to pick a replacement for the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, is running to replace him, despite skepticism about her lack of experience. She has received President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
Candidates and Campaigns
Other candidates in the race include U.S. House members Ralph Norman and Russell Fry, as well as former Governor Mark Sanford. Norman has been endorsed by several lawmakers, including Senators Rick Scott and Mike Lee. Fry has been trying to boost his name recognition beyond his pro-Trump district.
Sanford, who has been out of statewide office for over a decade, is making another attempt to return to public office. He had previously ended an effort to retake his former U.S. House seat to establish a nonprofit to address the national debt.
Dr. Annie Andrews, a Charleston physician, won her party’s June primary outright and has been forced to pivot to a broader critique of the Republican contenders.
