Summary
Kalshi now gives Darline Graham Nordone an 80% chance of winning South Carolina’s GOP Senate primary, up from 14% before Donald Trump endorsed her.
Harry Enten called the 62-year-old political newcomer the clear favorite, saying Trump’s backing has been especially potent in Senate primaries and follows Lindsey Graham’s death on July 11.
Graham Nordone announced her candidacy Monday after being appointed to finish her brother’s term through January, pitching more focus on domestic affordability issues than foreign policy.
Russell Fry entered the race just before her launch and cast himself as a “MAGA Warrior,” while Rep. Ralph Norman and businessman Mark Lynch have also joined the primary.
