Democrat to announce Senate bid Wednesday against Lindsey Graham
The Hill ^ | 05/28/19 | Tal Axelrod

Democrat Jaime Harrison, the former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, is set to announce Wednesday his Senate bid against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“The formal announcement will take place tomorrow morning. I’ll be back in South Carolina tonight, and it’s going to be tomorrow morning where I will formally announce that I am running for the United States Senate for South Carolina against Lindsey Graham,” Harrison said on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Tuesday night.

Harrison announced in February he would form an exploratory committee as he weighed potentially launching a Senate bid in 2020.

Harrison currently serves as associate chairman and counselor for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He first garnered national headlines when he unsuccessfully ran for DNC chair in 2017.

He will face an uphill battle to defeat Graham in the ruby red Palmetto State. South Carolina has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1998. It voted for President Trump by 14 points in 2016 and Graham by over 15 points in 2014. Graham also entered 2019 with $3.2 million in his Senate campaign account.

I’m no fan of Gramnesty and think a good conservative in SC should primary him. The hell with electing a lib. We can live with Linda if necessary. It’s up to the good folks in South Carolina to keep the state red.

I don’t see why any conservative should feel obligated to vote for him. he voted against the country in 2016.

Graham’s official campaign photo should be the one where he’s straightening his tie with the screaming liberal banshee behind him.

He’s come around a little. He did Yoeman’s work during the Kavanaugh smear.

Not my favorite, but better than a commie thug Rat.

I agree, red states like SC do not have to have Bush League Republicans who want amnesty for illegal aliens.
Flimsey Grahamnesty needs to be thrown out of office for backing EVERY amnesty attempt since 2006.

This is true. But since Insane McCain assumed room temp, he has done a serious 180 on Trump.

assuming that he wins the primary, he won’t break 40% in the general — and that’s with libertarian sh*t disturbers and maybe even an independent in the general.
