South Carolina Voters Head to Polls for a High-Stakes Senate Replacement
TL;DR
South Carolina is holding a special Republican primary to decide who will finish Lindsey Graham’s term in the U.S. Senate after his death, with Darline Graham leading a crowded field. The winner will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November. Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Darline to fill the seat, and a Trump endorsement could boost her bid, while other notable contenders include Ralph Norman, Russell Fry, and Mark Sanford. Polls show Darline ahead as voting runs 7am–7pm ET.
