Two prominent South Carolina Republicans have qualified for a runoff election in the state’s special GOP primary contest to fill the U.S. Senate vacancy created by Lindsey Graham’s death last month. Sen. Darline Graham and U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman emerged from the initial voting phase to secure their spots in the head-to-head matchup.
The special primary was triggered following Graham’s unexpected passing, setting off a competitive race among Republicans eager to claim the seat in a reliably conservative state. The runoff will determine which candidate advances to represent the party in the general election phase.
Graham and Norman’s advancement reflects their standing within the state’s Republican establishment, with both candidates drawing substantial support during the initial round of voting. The pair will now face voters again in the runoff contest to decide who will ultimately secure the Republican nomination.
