Four GOP Senators Debate South Carolina's Future | Augusta Georgia News

Four GOP contenders clashed in South Carolina over debt, trade, and foreign policy as they vie to fill Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat. Ralph Norman, Russell Fry, Mark Sanford, and Mark Lynch united on conservative values but split on spending, manufacturing, and military authorization. Economic woes dominated—with Sanford warning of foreign reliance, Fry spotlighting inflation, and all blaming Washington’s fiscal habits. Social Security solutions ranged from personal accounts to fraud crackdowns. On Iran and troop deployments, unity prevailed, but debate raged over congressional power. Immigration saw near-unanimous support for E-Verify, while AI regulation drew cautious consensus. With early voting starting August 5th, voters got a clear preview: whoever wins here will back the GOP nominee in November.
