South Carolina GOP Senate primary heads to a runoff

The Republican Senate primary in South Carolina is heading to a runoff after Sen. Darline Graham emerged as the front-runner, though her opponent remains undecided. This runoff, scheduled for August 25, will likely decide who will fill the seat vacated by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. Graham's campaign has benefited from her incumbency, strong support from President Trump, and her prominent name in South Carolina politics. Whoever wins this runoff will have a strong chance at securing the Senate seat, making this primary a critical contest in the state's political landscape.
