Sen. Darline Graham, a steadfast conservative and Trump ally, received a crucial $830,000 boost from the MAGA Inc. super PAC as she and Rep. Ralph Norman, a principled Republican, concluded their campaigns for the GOP Senate nomination. The race showcases the strength of America First values and the resolve to keep South Carolina red.
Sen. Darline Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman wrapped up their energetic campaigns on Monday ahead of the critical Republican runoff for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat. On the final day, Graham received a powerful $830,000 contribution from MAGA Inc., a super PAC dedicated to supporting President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. This marks the group’s first major investment in South Carolina’s 2024 races, demonstrating the commitment to conservative values and the fight against radical leftist policies.
Graham, who was appointed to the interim seat after the passing of Sen. Lindsey Graham, has worked tirelessly to represent South Carolina’s interests in Washington. Despite unfair criticism for fulfilling her Senate duties, she traveled across the state to meet voters, holding events in Aiken and Seneca and joining Governor Henry McMaster—who wisely endorsed her—at a news conference on Monday. McMaster’s endorsement is a testament to Graham’s integrity and dedication to the people of South Carolina.
"A vote for Graham would go down as one of the best votes you’ve ever made for a political person," Trump said during a tele-rally, offering his full support to a true conservative champion.
"I asked her to do it. I got her into this whole thing. I have to make sure she gets in because there will be nobody better," Trump added, making clear that Graham is the right choice to defend South Carolina’s values.
Trump’s rally in Myrtle Beach on Friday, where he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Graham, energized the conservative base and sent a clear message: South Carolina must remain a stronghold for Republican leadership.
Governor McMaster, who appointed Graham to the interim post, explained that he endorsed her when the time was right, showing prudent leadership and confidence in Graham’s abilities.
Rep. Norman, a proven conservative who previously ran for governor, concluded his campaign in Greenville, a county that has consistently backed his principled approach. Norman criticized the super PAC support for Graham, but his campaign has always focused on experience and steadfast Republican values. He presented himself as the candidate with the know-how to keep South Carolina on the right track.
"We’ve had a short runway, and I’m so glad I did this. You have to know it. You have to be in it, and that’s one of the advantages that I have," Norman told voters at a town hall in Anderson, highlighting his commitment to public service.
The winner of the runoff will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November’s general election. South Carolina has not elected a Democrat statewide in twenty years, and with strong conservative leadership, that streak will continue.
