COLUMBIA Democratic candidate Jaime Harrison is threatening to withdraw from South Carolinas second U.S. Senate race debate Friday night against Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham after the senator rejected a demand that he take another coronavirus test.
In a statement Thursday evening, Harrison said that he and the moderators for Friday's debate hosted by television station WSPA in Spartanburg had agreed to take a COVID-19 test before the debate, and he called on Graham to do the same.
"Of course, the upcoming debates can be held, and held safely," Harrison said. "But if Sen. Graham will not take a coronavirus test, I cannot responsibly debate in person tomorrow night and allow politics to put my family, my campaign staff, Sen. Grahams staff, and members of the media at unnecessary risk."...
"What has changed is not the seriousness of coronavirus what has changed is the threat Mr. Harrison faces from scrutiny," Graham said. "Whether Mr. Harrison attends tomorrows debate is his decision, not mine. I will be there."

Remember: linda is up for reelection next month. Polls show her tied with Harrison.
From what I read, it looks like old Linda is up against a bigger bitch than he is.
A black snowflake?
I guess Trump is going to have to go down there and drag his sorry arse over the finish line.
DO IT!
Too bad they can’t both lose.
Gvien the choice... well at least Linda will vote for Trump’s USSC choice. You know that that POS RAT Harrison won’t.
democrats cancel debates when they don’t want to lose any worse than it appears now. Hoping Trump won’t grow coat tails of course.
Democrats are panicking all over, because they can all read the teal leaves (biden is toasted and done as is the entire new commie democrat party zeitgeist).
Look for this to happen all over the country. Rats, getting out of the debates, is part of the process of leaving the proverbial “sinking ship”.
bye bye.
Gee - Who woulda’ thunk it?
Democrats weaponizing the COVID Scamdemic to create campaign havoc...
Imagine that!

harrison thinks he has it in the bag, and this is his version of joe biden’s basement.
it’s virus porn.
this sh*t won’t fly in SC.
harrison thinks he has it in the bag
If he thinks that he is delusional
When was his last test, and why does the Dem want him to take a new one?
Not sure why Linda is refusing to take a test before the debate. I would think it would protect him against opponent claiming later he got COVID and then taking down Linda.
Harrison is finished in this race and has no way of winning. He is in the double digit ugly loss range.
yep. weird polling in SC on this race. lot’s of MSM stories about how LG is in “existential peril”.
harrison is drunk on his own press clippings.
Because Covid is the only topic they want to discuss.
Lindsey wins by a wide margin, 6 points or so.
