Trump rallies in SC to back Darline Graham, testing his kingmaker pull

President Donald Trump campaigned in Myrtle Beach to boost Darline Graham’s South Carolina Senate runoff bid, aiming to reaffirm his status as the GOP kingmaker after several endorsement losses. He framed critics as opposing him, pledged support for Graham’s alignment with his agenda, and dismissed questions about her foreign-policy knowledge, while rival Ralph Norman pressed the experience gap in a high-stakes, low-turnout race that will measure Trump’s influence with core Republicans.

Daughter of late Rep. Scott advances to all-Democrat runoff in Georgia's 13th District

Marcye Scott and Everton Blair advanced to an Aug. 25 runoff for Georgia’s 13th District to fill the remainder of the late Rep. David Scott’s term after no candidate cleared 50% in the all-party primary; with about 95% of votes tallied, Scott led at 46% and Blair had 37%. Neither candidate is running for a full term. Jasmine Clark won the regular Democratic primary in May. Blair is backed by Rep. Lucy McBath and would be the first openly gay man to represent Georgia in Congress, while Scott would be the second daughter to succeed her father in the House.

Allred clinches Texas 33rd runoff, poised for return to Congress

Former Rep. Colin Allred defeated Rep. Julie Johnson in a runoff for Texas’ newly drawn 33rd District, a deep-blue Dallas-area seat, positioning him for a likely return to Congress. Allred leveraged his name ID and endorsements, while attacking Johnson over stock trades and corporate PAC money; Johnson, the first openly LGBTQ+ elected in a Southern state, faced a race that mirrored March’s Senate-primary tensions and underscored the district’s Democratic tilt.

Dem Leaders condemn Texas candidate's antisemitic rhetoric

Top House Democrats condemned Texas Democratic runoff candidate Maureen Galindo after she posted antisemitic remarks about Zionists and pledged to turn an ICE detention center into a “prison for American Zionists.” They called the rhetoric disqualifying and pointed to outside money from the newly formed Lead Left PAC boosting her campaign, with funding sources unclear. Galindo led the March primary in Texas’ 35th District and is in a runoff against Johnny Garcia; the winner will face the Republican runoff winner between Carlos De La Cruz and John Lujan.
