Annie Andrews' Chances of Beating Darline Graham

Newsweek · back to the audit

Democrat Annie Andrews entered South Carolina's Senate race expecting to face one of the state's most entrenched political figures. Just weeks later, the political landscape has been completely transformed. The death of longtime Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on July 11 forced Republicans into an emergency special election process and created the state's first open U.S. Senate seat in decades.

Graham Nordone said: 'Today, I'm stepping forward to carry my brother Lindsey's legacy on behalf of the people of South Carolina.'

Graham Nordone said: 'President Trump told me, "Run, Darline, Run." With his support, I'm running all the way through the finish line in November.'

'I've made a decision. I'm in,' she said.
