Lindsey Graham’s Successor

Cut Sheet begins with Darline Graham Nordone accepting the appointment to finish Lindsey Graham’s Senate term and the first look at South Carolina’s coming Republican primary. We assess Darline Graham Nordone’s emotional remarks, the South Carolina Senate field and which Republican could carry Lindsey Graham’s work forward. The SAVE America Act brings a sharp fight over proof of citizenship and voter ID, with Dawn rejecting claims that married women are unable to update documents. The crew compares voting rules with the identification demanded for travel, alcohol purchases and other daily transactions. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix sends the discussion from election law to race cars flying down Pennsylvania Avenue. We play Trump’s announcement, discuss his ease around athletes and defend IndyCar and NASCAR drivers as real athletes. Local crime returns with the report on Sincere Camps, the execution-style killing of Anshul Kuncha and the question of how violent groups recruit children before they reach their teen years. A Bucks County man’s dating-app match allegedly arrives at his home with wine and water ice after breaking in, which sends the crew into stories about dating sites and political disputes inside families. Later, we question why Graham Platner’s accuser has not filed charges, examine Mamdani’s comments about New York rape data and the state’s expanded rape statute, then close with Roman Butzlaff’s simple wave turning a group of neighbors into a close community.
