A serious struggle is flaring up in South Carolina represented by Lindsey Graham. Republicans Mark Lynch and Paul Danshave already announced their campaigns opposing Graham.
Recent polls show that a growing number of his constituents believe that the senator is doing a poor job.
Graham has a whole year to set his face toward the people’s problems and review his political program to evade a ghastly failure at the U.S. Senate elections in 2026.

Pick Nancy Mace. Well known and attractive. One of us? Linda was on most days. The senate is more important than the governorship. I rest my case.
Linda got a scare the last time around pleading for money on Hannity.
Does he need another scare at his age?
I respectfully disagree. Project 25, or at least the things proposed by it, seem to be popular now. If anything it might be a resume enhancer.
He’s just like the turtle.......dug in like an Alabama tick and ain’t goin’ NO WHERE.
hard no on Nancy Mace, she’s a massive drama Llama

Only hit the button once.
Mace is running for governor, not senator.
According to this:
https://www.fec.gov/data/elections/senate/SC/2026/
Lynch isn’t anywhere close to Lindsey in the $$$ department.
It would be be great if Light Loafers lost in a primary, but crossover Rats in the open primary will support Graham. A real Republican would easily stomp the “No Kings” shrew the Democrats are putting up this year but Graham’s unpopularity provides them an opening.
Then again, it was the same 6 years ago when Democrats and their ActBlue money laundry propped up some clueless black guy with nearly $150 million dollars (in South Carolina!) and Graham still won by 10 points.
The angry White woman who is attached to their puppet strings this time *shouldn’t* stand a chance, but one thing you can be sure of is that her having $100+ million to work with is not out of the question.
Lindsey Graham will have no problem getting re-elected as long as the SC GOP continues to have Open Primaries.
SC Conservatives need to stop whining about Lindsey and get to work on abolishing Open Primaries in SC.
Democrats in SC love Open Primaries. Even though the DEMS are a minority in SC, they control who gets elected.
Lindsey Graham is Neocon all the way Al Qaeda supporter as well supporting the Osama bin Laden followers in Syria who now rule that country.
Graham supported the kind of folks who perped 9/11.
Case closed. Lindsey Graham is on the side of evil.
Why anyone would support him is beyond me unless he is on that “Qatari take” some folks talk about.
Trump is implementing Project 25 wouldn’t you say? Campaigns are different.
As for Vader Nancy is well known. It’s much harder when nobody’s heard of you. Our Pennsylvania senator had to run earlier against Oz to get known. Then there’s Vivek making himself known running for the WH.
As for drama llama-her good looks make the drama more attractive. Don’t forget it makes her more well known. She doesn’t go overboard like MTG. Keep the seat-don’t gamble.
Republicans Mark Lynch and Paul Danshave already announced their campaigns“
This is the problem. The worthless rino’s like Linda survive because of the base splitting the vote among two or three good candidates. The rats come out for Graham every time and save him.
Lindsey Graham….. didn’t he visit Ukraine during the Biden years? Lots of political people visited Ukraine for reasons we don’t know. I suspect that he got a briefcase.
Mace is the best choice. We do not have to worry about another RINO getting into office with her.
Thank you. We won’t have to worry about her becoming another Lisa Murkowski. Unfortunately I’m afraid she has her sights set on the governorship as those mansions are a better stepping stone to the WH.
Thanks for the catch. I reported it to The Green Pages.
