Darline Graham's Emotional Victory in South Carolina Senate Primary

Sen. Darline Graham defeated Rep. Ralph Norman Tuesday in the South Carolina special Republican Senate primary runoff election, moving one step closer to holding on to her late brother’s seat in the upper chamber for a full term. 

Graham (R-SC), who was endorsed and encouraged by President Trump to run for Lindsay Graham’s seat following the longtime senator’s shocking death last month, topped Norman (R-SC) 52-48% in the Palmetto State primary runoff, with more than 95% of the ballots counted.

“The past few weeks have been an unbelievably challenging time for our family, but you know what? We did it,” Graham said in her victory speech.
