The bipartisan backing adds two former governors to Andrews’ coalition as outside groups pour millions into the race, campaign finance reports show.
- On Monday, former Republican Governor David Beasley and former Democratic Governor Jim Hodges jointly endorsed Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Annie Andrews in a campaign video, citing political division as their reason.
- Andrews is challenging Republican incumbent Senator Darline Graham, who was appointed to the seat following the July 11 death of her brother, former Senator Lindsey Graham.
- Outside groups are pouring millions into the race: Security is Strength PAC has spent $2.6 million boosting Graham, while BLACK PAC invested nearly $2 million in digital advertising supporting Andrews.
- Seeking to court moderate voters, the Andrews campaign reports more than 100 Republicans have joined its 'Republicans for Annie' coalition, reflecting her strategy to build cross-party support.
- This endorsement mirrors a national trend of former GOP officials supporting Democrats in competitive Senate races as voters prepare for the November 3 general election.
