Graham is going to win his Primary again because the people in South Carolina repeat the same mistakes every single time that he is up for reelection.
To the voters in South Carolina: To get rid of Graham, you need to rally your vote around 1 single challenger.
As it stands today, you're splitting the vote between the 2 challengers which allows Graham to slide in and win it.
Graham has used this same strategy every reelection and like clockwork, the people in South Carolina keep repeating the same mistake.

Deal with it my friends.
It means, very simply, we are better off with a majority of these Trump hating RINOs than the democrats because of the way the pressure on them to work w Trump will come from constituents, as the democrats will just be worse
It’s the best bad idea.
I don’t think it’s illegal, is it?
Even if so, how do you prove something like this?
They’re smart enough to play the game.
James Carville makes videos he thinks SC ‘is in play’ for the Dems maybe he’s smoking something but...
Trump hasn’t endorsed either Paxton or Cornyn. He’s not getting involved in the primary.
We need a kingmaker who can endorse one of the vote-splitters.
Trump could do it but probably won’t, because of politics.
Rush or Charlie Kirk could have done it. Probably no one else.
And conservative are stupid enough to fall for it. Over and over.
And don’t play that game themselves.
I just did a DuckDuckGo search on "President Trump's endorsement of Lindsey Graham for Senate"
This is the response:
"President Trump has endorsed Senator Lindsey Graham for re-election, stating that Graham has been a wonderful friend and is always there when needed. Trump emphasized that Graham will not let voters down and encouraged support for his campaign in South Carolina."
This is not a surprise. Graham is one of Trump's golfing buddies.
That said, Graham will sink or swim depending on what is happening in Iran on June 6. That is over two months away.
People continue to bxtch but keep putting the same useless idiots they bxtch about back in office....it’s the American way.
c’mon South Carolina! Anyone but this POS
That’s good enough for me. My vote will go to Graham.
The closed primary is the incumbent protection act.
To beat an incumbent particularly in a highly expensive Senate race is nigh impossible in a closed primary state.
Paxton would have won outright if not for the “splitter” which always seems to be the case in closed primary states.
I know there are folk on this forum who are die-hard “conservatives” and die-hard “Republicans” who think it’s lunacy to allow Democrats to vote in a Republican primary.
But the open primary can work and works in a lot of states.
Sure there is “strategic” voting where the Democrats could gang up against an incumbent Republican but it can also work the other way as well.
You ONLY get one primary vote in an open primary.
What you would see is that contested primaries in the same year would eliminate “strategic” voting.
Better candidates would be attracted to run.
There would be more turnover and vegetables like China Mitch and assclowns like Randy Paul would not be elected time and again.
The same of Linda Graham.
The uniparty is ROTTEN to the core.
Try to eliminate the closed primary in the states like NY and Illinois which are the ROTTENEST states in the Union.
The uniparty will show its true colors.
