Graham Admits National Security Gap in SC Runoff

Sen. Darline Graham, listed as Lindsey Graham’s sister, admitted during a South Carolina GOP Senate runoff debate that she is not informed on national security, with the exchange centering on whether Taiwan and the South China Sea are U.S. national security issues, while Rep. Ralph Norman touted his voting record on spending and accountability. The discussion highlighted Trump’s endorsement and support from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Tim Scott, and raised questions about Graham’s qualifications for a six-year term. Graham also misstated South Carolina’s population, saying 50 million people. The debate occurred as voters head toward a runoff to face Democrat Annie Andrews, with coverage noting the contest is shaped by name recognition and party loyalty rather than foreign-policy credentials.
