Graham Joins Senate Race as South Carolina Shifts | Portland Maine News
Description
Darline Graham, the first woman and HBCU graduate to serve in the U.S. Senate from South Carolina, has officially launched her campaign to fill her late brother’s seat — backed by Trump and now among nine GOP contenders vying for the special primary on August 11th, with a runoff likely if no one wins outright. Meanwhile, Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman also entered the race, drawing endorsements and promising conservative results. As the GOP debate looms, South Carolina is also set to host the first Democratic presidential nominating contest in 2028 — a historic move that could sideline Iowa and signal a major shift in party strategy, honoring Black voters and setting the stage for a pivotal two-year race without a clear frontrunner.
