Trump’s Endorsement Shakes South Carolina | Charleston News

Trump’s unexpected endorsement of Darline Graham in South Carolina’s Senate race sent shockwaves through GOP politics, sparking a fiery feud with Congressman Ralph Norman—who questioned Trump’s motives and even called his policies “good” but his involvement “a head-scratcher.” Trump retaliated on social media, blaming Norman for torpedoing his political comeback by backing Nikki Haley instead. Despite Norman’s conservative credentials, Trump’s support proved decisive: Graham surged in the Lowcountry while Norman held steady in Upstate. Now, Graham heads to the general election against Democrat Annie Andrews—a race that could shatter South Carolina’s long Republican Senate streak. With Trump’s influence still massive and GOP unity intact, Democrats face an uphill battle to break through. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
