A First Test for Platner and Other Key Races to Watch in Tuesday’s Primaries in Maine and Beyond
Trump’s endorsement and tele-rally aim to help Graham clear South Carolina’s 50% threshold and avoid a June 23 runoff, pollsters said.
- On Monday, Sen. Lindsey Graham held a last-minute tele-rally with President Donald Trump to bolster his campaign ahead of Tuesday's Republican primary in South Carolina.
- Challenger Mark Lynch, who self-funded his campaign with $5 million, has criticized Graham for his hawkish support of the U.S.-Israel war against Iran.
- A late-May Citadel Poll placed Graham at 46%, four points below the 50% runoff barrier, with Lynch at 36%; among voters believing Israel has too much influence, Lynch led 37% to 33%.
- If Graham fails to clear the 50% threshold Tuesday, he and Lynch will advance to a June 23 runoff in South Carolina.
- This contest tests President Trump's sway in South Carolina, where he has successfully backed candidates ousting incumbent Republicans this spring.
