Trump to rally for Graham before South Carolina Senate runoff

President Donald Trump is slated to hold a rally in Myrtle Beach, urging South Carolina voters to back interim Senator Darline Graham as the Republican Senate runoff approaches on August 25, 2026. He also responded to a protester who interrupted his remarks. The GOP primary has advanced to a runoff scheduled for that date, pitting Graham against Rep.

Ralph Norman. Graham, appointed to fill her late brother’s seat, told voters she lacks detailed knowledge of national-security issues such as Taiwan and the South China Sea, a comment made during a recent debate and cited by opponents. Norman has questioned Trump’s endorsement of Graham, noting her limited political experience.
