Trump returns to South Carolina to rally for Darline Graham
Trump’s second visit this month highlights Republican concern regarding their Senate majority in a state with his 18 percentage point margin of victory in 2024, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump travels to Rock Hill, South Carolina, to bolster Republican nominee Darline Graham, signaling GOP anxiety over the competitive Senate race against Democratic nominee Annie Andrews.
- Republican Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham in July to fill the vacancy left by her brother, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, before she secured the GOP nomination in August for a full six-year term.
- Andrews campaigned Wednesday in the Upstate, urging voters to "try something new," while registered Republican Brent Chaplin encouraged voters to "put some brainpower" into candidate selection beyond automatic partisan support.
- Benjamin Updegraft criticized the potential for the Senate seat to remain in the Graham family, asserting "The Senate is not an inherited position," as holding the seat remains essential for Republicans to maintain their majority.
- Andrews faces a steep challenge in South Carolina, which has not sent a Democrat to the Senate in nearly three decades, with her success hinging on winning support from disaffected voters in a state Trump won by nearly 18 percent in 2024.
