Trump expected to hold Myrtle Beach rally for U.S. Senate runoff
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Friday, prompting the South Carolina Republican Party to postpone a U.S. Senate Stump Stop in the Upstate.
- The SCGOP aims to reschedule the Stump Stop to allow both Senate runoff candidates, Darline Graham and Ralph Norman, to participate, emphasizing fairness in giving voters a chance to hear from both.
- Trump has endorsed interim Senator Darline Graham, who is competing against Congressman Ralph Norman in the runoff to fill the late Senator Lindsey Graham's seat.
- The runoff election is set for August 25, with early voting taking place from Wednesday through Friday, and the winner will face Democratic candidate Dr. Annie Andrews in November.
- The South Carolina Republican Party is actively working to find a new date for the postponed Anderson event.
