Sen. Darline Graham, appointed to honor her late brother’s legacy, reaffirmed her unwavering support for America’s armed forces, even as left-wing critics try to undermine her commitment to national security ahead of the crucial runoff.
Sen. Darline Graham, chosen to continue the legacy of her brother Lindsey Graham’s dedicated service in the Senate, spoke candidly during a Tuesday debate, acknowledging she is still learning about complex national-security matters such as Taiwan and the South China Sea. Despite relentless attacks from the left and the media, she proudly stood by her support for the military, referencing her brother’s 33-year Air Force career, and pledged to do “everything I can to support the military.”
Graham, a steadfast Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump, is fighting for a full term in November after a hard-fought primary and now faces Rep. Ralph Norman in a runoff. Norman, recognizing the threat posed by Communist China, described Taiwan as a vital U.S. ally and praised the president’s strong, America-first approach to China.
The winner will face Democrat Annie Andrews, a pediatrician whose campaign focuses on government handouts and leftist economic policies, in the general election.
"I’m just going to be honest here. I’m not that informed on national security," Graham said, demonstrating her honesty and willingness to learn for the good of the country.
"We have a trading relationship with them that is beneficial to the United States. What the president is doing right is he’s enabling Taiwan to defend themselves against China," Norman said, applauding the administration’s bold stance against foreign adversaries.
