Escalation: Trump Endorses Darline Graham for Senate Seat
President Donald Trump endorsed South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham for her late brother’s U.S. Senate seat. He said he asked her during an Oval Office meeting to enter the Aug. 11 GOP special primary and wrote that, should she accept, she has his "Complete and Total Endorsement."
His post also urged, "RUN, DARLINE, RUN!" She had not announced a campaign at the time.
Filing for the special primary opens at noon July 21 and closes July 28, with the vote set for Aug. 11. The winner will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November.
