U.S. Rep. Russell Fry endorses Sen. Darline Graham as she advances to a Republican primary runoff for a U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina. The runoff is set between Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman, with Graham seeking a full six-year term.
Across outlets, Fry’s endorsement follows his own unsuccessful bid in the earlier primary. The reports say Fry is urging his supporters to back Graham for the runoff, framing the decision as support for her effort to replace her late brother, former Sen. Lindsey Graham. The Washington Times and The Hill both describe the endorsement as a key development heading into what they characterize as a contentious runoff.
The Winnipeg Free Press similarly reports that Fry endorses Graham for the runoff, aligning with the core facts that the endorsement comes after Fry’s primary loss and that the contested nomination is now between Graham and Norman. While coverage emphasizes different aspects—such as Graham’s path to the nomination and the significance of Lindsey Graham’s legacy—sources agree on the central outcome: Fry publicly backs Graham for the final primary contest.
