US EditionSen. Lindsey Graham gets a 2026 challenge from Democrat Annie Andrews, who ran against Nancy Mace
- Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician and South Carolina Democrat, launched her 2026 Senate campaign on Thursday to challenge Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham.
- Andrews emphasizes Graham's changing positions and close ties to President Trump amid a historically difficult environment for Democrats in South Carolina.
- Graham, a four-term senator seeking his fifth term with nearly $16 million raised and Trump’s endorsement, remains a powerful figure with strong state Republican support.
- Andrews portrays Graham as a longtime incumbent with over two decades in office and delivers a harsh critique, calling him “completely and unequivocally full of ,” while also emphasizing how Trump’s tariff policies are negatively affecting voters at key state ports and automotive facilities.
- While Andrews plans to leverage Graham’s Trump alliance in her uphill bid, her early entry aims to secure resources despite South Carolina’s strong Republican trends and Graham’s resilience.
