South Carolina Senate Race

The South Carolina Senate seat, vacated by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, has drawn multiple candidates, including Darline Graham Nordon, who has received an endorsement from Donald Trump, and Rep. Ralph Norman, who has launched a bid despite Nordon's Trump-backed candidacy. Confidence is high that the race will be highly contested. Key uncertainties include the outcome of potential primary conflicts and the ability of Democratic candidate Dr. Annie Andrews to flip the traditionally Republican-leaning seat.
