The GOP primary on Tuesday aims to fill the seat of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham for the upcoming November ballot. Despite former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and his popularity among party loyalists, the race seems to be heading for a runoff.
Sources indicate that Rep. Ralph Norman and Sen. Darline Graham will likely advance to a runoff. Trump recently endorsed Darline Graham, Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister, signaling his support for her to secure a six-year Senate term.
This development follows closely on the heels of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s unexpected passing. The move by Trump to back a candidate with strong family ties to the late senator underlines the strategic dynamics at play within the GOP.
