Democrats notched an upset victory in South Carolina’s Senate race, NBC News projects, with Annie Andrews toppling Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who was appointed this year to succeed her late brother, longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Andrews, a pediatrician, will be the state’s first Democratic senator in more than 20 years. Donald Trump carried South Carolina by more than 17 percentage points two years ago.
I’m not sure what’s stunning - apart from the fact that it happened in SC: Darline Graham is dumber than a sack of bricks, grossly incompetent, and even the most hardcore republican can’t possible vote for her and think she’s gonna bring any added value for South Carolinians to the senate. Not to mention the risk that she might open her dumb mouth again and shame the whole state by saying something inane.
I don’t usually count on the good sense and intelligence of republican voters, but Darline Graham is really over the top. I’m not surprised she lost.
Trump picked her though. That’s what’s hilarious about this, he’s saying that the candidates are shitty when he picked some of them, lol.
And he picked those candidates on Jan 6th riot supporter absolute loyalty basis. Graham’s “I don’t need to care about foreign policy” zombie was the perfect Trump rubber stamp candidate.
You clearly over estimate the intelligence and integrity of the people of S. Carolina. If they were as you described then this shouldn’t have even been close and yet it was a very narrow victory.
I’m more stunned that Lindsay Graham held that seat for as long as he did.
