Graham vs Norman: Trump's Endorsement Tested | Little Rock News

In a high-stakes South Carolina Senate runoff, Darline Graham—sister of late Senator Lindsey Graham—faces off against seasoned Rep. Ralph Norman, with MAGA Inc. pouring nearly $830K into Graham’s campaign, marking a rare and massive Trump-backed PAC investment. President Trump personally rallied for Graham in Myrtle Beach, urging voters to support her as a “South Carolina patriot,” signaling a major endorsement effort. Norman, self-funding his bid and leveraging his gubernatorial primary win in Greenville, dismisses the PAC spending as a tool for special interests, emphasizing his political experience over Graham’s relative newcomer status. Governor Henry McMaster shrugged off questions about Trump’s timing, calling it “the right time.” With Democrat Annie Andrews waiting in November, this race pits political legacy and presidential backing against proven local grit—and could reshape South Carolina’s political landscape after two decades without a Democratic statewide win.
