Democrat Annie Andrews Wins South Carolina Senate Seat, Flipping Long-Held GOP Position
Democrat Annie Andrews won the 2026 US Senate race in South Carolina, defeating Republican Darline Graham and flipping a seat held by Republicans since 1998. Andrews, a pediatrician and first woman elected to the Senate from the state, campaigned on healthcare and affordability. Graham, appointed after her brother Lindsey Graham's death and backed by former President Trump, faced criticism for limited political experience. Andrews' victory reflects shifting voter sentiment in a traditionally Republican state and contributes to Democrats' efforts to gain Senate control.
