Scott defends Darline Graham’s national security readiness in SC runoff

TL;DR
In a South Carolina GOP runoff, Tim Scott defended Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham’s sister who was appointed to fill his Senate seat, after she admitted she’s “not that informed on national security.” Scott said she is prepared to serve on national security issues, but offered no specifics about her credentials. Graham has held public policy roles but has not previously been elected, and she is being endorsed by Donald Trump, who described her frank answer as honest as voters weigh security qualifications ahead of the runoff against Ralph Norman.
