Darline Graham promotes Trump’s agenda in her political debut ahead of special Senate primary

Darline Graham, a political newcomer, says she is answering Trump’s call as nine Republicans compete for the seat in a special primary.

  • On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Senator Darline Graham made her political debut at a Senate candidate stump event in Lexington, South Carolina, emphasizing her commitment to President Donald Trump's policy agenda.
  • Appointed to serve the remainder of her late brother Senator Lindsey Graham's term, Darline Graham now faces nine other Republican candidates in the August 11 special primary election.
  • An Emerson College poll released Thursday showed Darline Graham with 19% support among 500 likely Republican voters, trailing U.S. Representative Ralph Norman, who secured 22% support.
  • Following her stump speech, Darline Graham narrowly won an informal straw poll at the event, while the eventual Republican nominee will face Democrat Annie Andrews in the November general election.
  • Voters will head to the polls August 11, with a potential runoff election scheduled for August 25 if no candidate claims a majority of the vote.
