Sen. Darline Graham wins the Republican Senate primary runoff in South Carolina
Trump-backed Darline Graham won after a runoff debate stumble and nearly $830,000 in late outside spending, according to the Associated Press.
- On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, South Carolina Republican voters returned to polls for a Senate runoff between Sen. Darline Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman to determine the party's nominee for the November general election.
- Following the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham in July, Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham to finish the term; no candidate secured an outright majority in the August 11 special primary, triggering this runoff.
- Campaign resources have poured into the race, with President Donald Trump spending more than $827,000 for Graham and former governor Nikki Haley's aligned PACs contributing over $700,000 for Norman.
- During a recent debate, Graham admitted she was "not that informed on national security" regarding Taiwan, which Norman, a five-term congressman, leveraged to emphasize his legislative experience.
- Whoever wins the runoff will face Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, in the November general election for a seat considered a safe Republican hold.
