Trump Supports Darline Graham in South Carolina Senate Runoff Amid Debate Scrutiny
President Donald Trump is actively supporting Darline Graham in the South Carolina Republican Senate runoff, urging voters to back her as if he were on the ballot. Graham, appointed to fill her late brother Senator Lindsey Graham's seat, faces criticism after a debate where she admitted limited knowledge on national security. Despite this, Trump defended her honesty and commitment to military and presidential priorities. The runoff against Representative Ralph Norman will determine the GOP nominee for the November general election.
