South Carolina Senate hopeful concedes limited national security expertise in debate
TL;DR
During the sole SC GOP Senate runoff debate, Darline Graham admitted she’s not informed on national security when pressed on Taiwan and the South China Sea, highlighting a vulnerability despite Trump’s support. She defended her military backing but noted a gap in foreign-policy experience compared with her brother Lindsey Graham’s advisory role to Trump. Her opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman, touts conservative credentials as the runoff nears, with Trump planning to campaign in Myrtle Beach.
