Headline: Here's who is running to replace Lindsey Graham in the Senate

Lead: South Carolina voters will participate in a special primary election in August to name a GOP nominee to fill the seat formerly held by Sen. Lindsey Graham in the upper chamber.

"President Donald Trump endorsed and publicly encouraged her to run for the full term."

"Trump had told Newsmax before endorsing Nordone for the full term that Fry would be an 'outstanding' pick for the seat."

"I have been praying a lot, talking to my family."

"Too many South Carolina families are struggling to make ends meet."

"We need a conservative fighter in the Senate who delivers real results."

Graham "has never held elected office," "sits as South Carolina's first female senator," "initially expected to serve in a temporary, caretaker capacity."

Graham beat Mark Lynch in the June GOP primary "by a 27.9-point margin"; Fry "won his 2024 election by 29.9 points"; Norman won his 2024 race "by a 27.2-point margin."

Norman "will not drop his bid" despite Trump's endorsement.
