Trump-Backed Hopeful Faces Toss-Up in SC Senate Runoff

Trump-endorsed Darline Graham is running in a high-stakes South Carolina Senate runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman, a race seen as a test of Trump’s influence and Lindsey Graham’s legacy. A recent debate gaffe where Graham said national security isn’t her “thing” has fed talk of a toss-up, with turnout expected to be low after two GOP primaries in two months. Analysts say Trump’s backing could still sway voters, but Norman capitalizes on Graham’s misstep, leaving the outcome open ahead of the November race against Democrat Annie Andrews.
