Annie Andrews and Darline Graham Tied in Deadlocked South Carolina Senate Race, Poll Shows
The poll found 707 likely voters split 48% to 48% as Republicans spend millions to defend a seat long held by Lindsey Graham.
- A New York Times/Siena University poll released Wednesday shows interim Senator Darline Graham and Democratic challenger Annie Andrews tied at 48% each among 707 likely South Carolina voters, transforming the race into a toss-up days before Election Day.
- President Donald Trump recruited Darline Graham to fill the seat after her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, died July 11, 2026; she was sworn in three days later with Trump's backing.
- Financial disclosures reveal a stark fundraising gap: Andrews holds $24 million in campaign cash versus Graham's less than $2 million, while outside groups spent $9.7 million since October 1 supporting the Republican.
- Republicans have poured millions into the state to defend the seat, and President Trump is scheduled to rally in Rock Hill this week to boost Graham as the contest shifts from safe Republican territory to a toss-up.
- Election Day for the South Carolina Senate contest is set for Tuesday, November 3, after early voting ends Saturday, with nonpartisan forecasters having downgraded the race from 'likely Republican' to 'lean Republican.
