AP News nation

Key Points:

  • Sen. Darline Graham received a significant late-stage campaign boost from MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting Trump-aligned Republicans, with nearly $830,000 spent to aid her in the South Carolina Republican Senate runoff.
  • The runoff pits Graham, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister and interim appointee, against Rep. Ralph Norman, who has emphasized his experience and criticized Graham's reliance on special interest funding.
  • President Donald Trump has actively campaigned for Darline Graham, including in-person rallies and tele-rallies, highlighting her candidacy as a top priority and urging South Carolina voters to support her.
  • Graham faced early criticism for being absent from the state during her appointment but has since increased local engagement, receiving endorsements from Gov. Henry McMaster, who appointed her and endorsed her late in the campaign.
  • The GOP runoff winner will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November, with Democrats having not won a statewide office in South Carolina for over 20 years.
