Darline Graham has won the Republican nomination for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat, securing 52.4% of the primary vote to succeed her late brother, Lindsey Graham. Appointed to fill the vacancy after his death, she’s a seasoned civil servant with ties to Trump’s campaign — who backed her and poured over $800K into her race. Despite debate missteps that raised eyebrows, loyalists rally behind her as “Trump’s pick,” while Horry County proved decisive in the tight race. Her Democratic opponent, pediatrician Annie Andrews, faces an uphill battle in a state where Democrats haven’t won a statewide race since 2006. The primary was fast and fierce, with Graham’s rival — a MAGA-leaning candidate who once endorsed Nikki Haley — losing ground amid criticism of his border record and negative ads.
