Election 2026: Republican Voters Choose Graham or Norman on Tuesday
Graham placed first in the August primary with 33 percent, while Norman received 25 percent, necessitating a runoff to determine the Republican nominee.
- On Tuesday, South Carolina voters will choose between Senator Darline Graham and Representative Ralph Norman in a special runoff to fill the Senate seat vacated by the death of Senator Lindsey Graham.
- The runoff follows an August primary where Graham led with just under 33 percent of the vote, while Norman received just under 25 percent, failing to produce an outright majority winner.
- President Donald Trump endorsed Graham, rallying in Myrtle Beach on Friday to boost her campaign, while Norman has secured support from former Governor Nikki Haley and former Governor Mark Sanford.
- As of Monday, prediction markets show Graham as the favorite, with her victory chances at 68 percent on Kalshi and 77 percent on Polymarket; the race tests Trump's endorsement influence.
- Norman claimed at a Friday town hall that Graham "will get beaten by the Democrat," though South Carolina has consistently provided double-digit victories to Republicans in recent cycles.
