Trump Rallies for Darline Graham in South Carolina as Nov. 3 Vote Nears

3 articles · Updated · WIS News 10 · Oct 29

Summary

  • Rock Hill’s rally marked Trump’s second South Carolina stop this month, with the president campaigning for Sen. Darline Graham less than a week before the Nov. 3 election.
  • Republican speakers used the event to press party unity as a grassroots write-in push for Rep. Ralph Norman gains traction in York County and the Upstate.
  • Darline Graham and other GOP leaders warned that votes diverted from the nominee could hand the seat to Democrat Annie Andrews and threaten Republican control of the Senate.
  • Trump tied Graham’s candidacy to the legacy of her late brother Lindsey Graham and argued his administration is working unusually hard to defy the party-in-power’s usual midterm losses.
  • Graham faces Andrews, Libertarian Kasie Whitener and Constitution Party candidate Mark Hackett in a race Republicans still view as critical despite South Carolina’s reliably red history.
