Two candidates are vying for the Republican nomination to fill the South Carolina Senate seat being vacated by Lindsey Graham. The matchup between Darline Graham and Ralph Norman will determine who represents the party in the general election for the influential legislative position.

Darline Graham has centered her campaign on her status as a political newcomer, framing her outsider perspective as an advantage over establishment-backed candidates. She has also highlighted endorsements from former President Donald Trump, positioning herself as aligned with the former commander-in-chief’s political movement.

The runoff election represents a significant moment for South Carolina Republicans as they chart the direction of the seat left open by Graham’s retirement after decades of Senate service. The winner will face Democratic and independent challengers in the general election race.
