In the next step of a race already on pace to become the most expensive in South Carolina history, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has defeated three little-known GOP challengers, the last marker ahead of an expected general election face-off with Democrat Jaime Harrison.
Graham, 64, bested fellow Republicans Duke Buckner, Michael Lapierre and Joe Reynolds in Tuesday’s primary election. Harrison was unopposed in his primary, and two Libertarians and one Constitution Party candidate have also filed to seek the seat.

Trump had no reason to endorse Kennedy. Romney showed who he is after he got elected. Trump was expecting him to be a normal Republican.
Graham has done nothing to undermine Pres. Trump and has been one of the more vocal Senators on the Russia hoax.
He was certainly vocal when he threatened President Trump if he tried to fire Sessions or Muller, so he has undermined the President.
He let that witch hunt go on KNOWING there was nothing to it.
I get why he does it, but it makes it difficult for us to do our part of the swamp draining that he can’t do, getting rid of the Congressional swamp creatures.
Good point. No easy answer. Obviously, the priority is getting Trump reelected and he’s got to herd GOP cats to do it.
That was AFTER he was elected. AFTER.
Linda is like a hemorrhoid, he won’t go away. McCain poisoned Graham’s mind.

1) Trump was fully aware of the problem Romney would be. He tried hard to get Hatch to run for another term but he was retired to make room for Romney.
2)Graham has done little but undermine POTUS these past 3 1/2 years. He threatened POTUS not to fire Sessions , famously said he was gonig to author a Mueller Coup protection act, refused to use his powers to investigate the IC impeachment coup, etc. Supporting GOP nominee judges is his JOB. He gets no kudos for that.
Look around at the rest of the SC Congressional delegation, all of them are amnesty supporters.
That was Grahamnesty.
I never thought that I would live to see members of the Police Department and members of the Military publicly kneel and give members of BLM a blow job in broad daylight. But I did. The Facts Speak For Themselves.
Friggin rats cross over and vote for linda.
Until the SC legislature grows some cojones and does away with open primaries, linda has a job for life and she knows it.
Oh great, that means we’ll get more of the ‘nothing’ done that he always delivers.
Havew you noticed that every tiem Lindsey is up, he geets multiple primary challengers? It’s almost as if it’s a strategy of his to keep the anti-Lindsey vote divided.
I assume that is why Lindsey Graham had three challengers - to split the conservative vote. Now that he survived this challenge, he can go back to being his usual RINO self.
Must have been his new dress that pushed him over the line to victory!
Exactly.
Trump endorsed him..after the Alabama, Roy Moore debacle, I won’t buck him with his picks any more.
Come on South Carolina!!! Isn’t enough, enough???????
Note: All the networks are saying this was a Joe Biden blowout in South Carolina. However, Graham, running against three others, got more votes than Joe Biden: Biden - ~262,000, Graham - 314,000.
Interesting.
OBAMSC!
Yup. That's what we've come to expect of the GOPe. Same thing happens in Texas with Cornyn. The only time he acts even marginally conservative is when he's up for re-election.
