Episode Details

Trump’s bold endorsement of Rep. Russell Fry is electrifying South Carolina politics, positioning the 41-year-old as the early frontrunner for the open U.S. Senate seat. Fry’s stunning primary win in 2022 — defeating a five-term incumbent who voted to impeach Trump — cemented his loyalty to the president’s agenda. With Trump calling him “outstanding” and “very, very talented,” Fry now benefits from massive name recognition, strong fundraising, and a safe GOP district. While rivals like Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman eye the race, insiders say Trump’s backing could be decisive. The special Republican primary is August 11, with a runoff possible August 25. If Fry wins, he’ll face a tough race to hold South Carolina’s 7th District — once held by Lindsey Graham — in a state where the general election could be tighter than expected.
