Darline Graham Wins South Carolina Senate Runoff Backed by Trump
Darline Graham defeated Rep. Ralph Norman in the South Carolina Republican Senate runoff on August 26, securing the GOP nomination with President Donald Trump's endorsement and campaign support, CBS News reported. Earlier, President Donald Trump had publicly backed Graham, a factor NPR noted as a test of his influence in the state. Rep.
Russell Fry, who finished third in the GOP primary, announced his support for Graham, according to Fox News. The campaign also received an $830,000 contribution from the MAGA Inc. super PAC, as reported by AP News. The August 25 runoff was seen as a barometer of Trump's sway after his endorsed candidates suffered primary defeats, Yahoo reported.
