Ceasefire: South Carolina Senate Race

21 AUG 2026 · 14:29 ET·3:31·963 VIEWS·0.0× USUAL PACE

Jaime Harrison, former Democratic National Committee Chair, and Marc Lotter, former special assistant to President Trump, discuss the South Carolina U.S. Senate race. The conversation specifically focuses on Darlene Graham, who was appointed to fill the seat of her late brother and is facing criticism for her performance during a recent debate, particularly her lack of knowledge on national security and foreign policy questions, and a misstatement about South Carolina's population. Both analysts agree her answer was poor and could be damaging in the upcoming runoff election against Ralph Northam, a sitting U.S. congressman.

WHY IT MATTERS

The performance of Darlene Graham in the South Carolina Senate race, particularly her handling of critical issues like national security, could significantly impact the election outcome and her viability as a candidate.

ALSO DISCUSSED

The discussion touches on the Republican party's reliance on endorsements rather than candidate preparation, and introduces Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, as the Democratic candidate.
