Trump Campaigns for Senate Candidates in South Carolina, Mississippi

President Donald Trump is campaigning for Republican Senate candidates ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms, rallying in Pendleton, South Carolina, for Sen. Darline Graham and planning an Oct. 26 rally in Corinth, Mississippi, for Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. Graham, appointed to succeed her late brother Lindsey Graham, faces Democrat Annie Andrews in a race described as closer than expected, with some conservatives withholding support; Trump’s visit is intended to boost Republican turnout. Hyde-Smith faces Democrat Scott Colom and independent Ty Pinkins, and national Democrats have also campaigned and invested in the Mississippi race. Trump’s campaign blitz comes amid surging early voting and Republican concerns about the economy and the party’s midterm prospects.
