Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) announces he will run for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat after the death of longtime Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. Norman makes the announcement Saturday, saying he wants to represent South Carolina in the Senate and continue what he calls Graham’s legacy. Multiple outlets report the race is set up as a special Senate primary in which candidates compete to fill the seat for a full six-year term. Several sources also note the field could include or eventually be shaped by Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, whose potential candidacy has been publicly supported by President Donald Trump, according to reports. Bloomberg and other outlets describe Norman’s entry as creating a possible primary contest between Norman and Darline Graham. Polling coverage from The Hill indicates both Norman and Darline Graham lead in at least one recent Emerson College poll, though support is not described as giving either candidate an outright majority. Fox News reports multiple Republican candidates are part of the race and participate in debate coverage, including Norman alongside Darline Graham and other contenders.
