Democratic super PAC jumps into South Carolina race against Lindsey Graham
The Hour ^ | September 28, 2020 | Seung Min Kim

The main super PAC supporting the election of Democrats to the Senate is preparing to invest millions in South Carolina - a fresh signal that Democrats see the race against Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., as winnable.

Senate Majority PAC will launch a new, $6.5 million ad campaign in South Carolina on Monday, marking the first time that the super PAC has gone on the air this cycle in the traditional GOP stronghold. The effort to bolster Democrat Jaime Harrison's prospects includes $5 million in television ads and a $1.5 million digital campaign.

The television ad, which launches Tuesday, focuses on prescription drug prices, criticizing Graham for having "gone Washington" and "gone bad" on the issue.

"There's a reason Lindsey Graham is hitting the panic button and begging for donations on cable news: He's vulnerable and he knows it," said the super PAC's president, J.B. Poersch. "Jaime Harrison has put this seat in play by running a strong campaign and earning the trust of South Carolinians who are ready for change."

Harrison has rapidly become one of the most impressive fundraisers among Democratic Senate candidates, raking in $1 million in just one day earlier this month after a Quinnipiac Poll showed him tied with Graham.

Yet Graham, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is poised to play a starring role in the confirmation fight over Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court - an issue likely to galvanize voters in the conservative state.

It would sure be refreshing if all these grumblers would give us some specificity in their posts - nope - all generalized - everyone follows the lemmings off the cliff - “he hasn’t done the job.” “I’ll vote for his opponent.”

Really smart voters!

And I will add that calling names like 2nd graders is pretty darned juvenile - these people shouldn’t be voting anyway if they can’t behave like adults!

Agree. The GOP is so weak its hard to make sense of their logic at times. They have every reason to expedite the confirmation but they seem to be dragging their feet.

If Trump was in trouble in Florida he certainly would have picked the Latina over Barrett in my view. Florida is a must win state for him.

Sorry, never thought about that angle. Hope you don’t really find me clueless on most matters.

Yes, that’s a fortuitous thing, otherwise they wouldn’t have much incentive to do anything. Who knows how long they drag it out?

Its also fortuitous, if not providential, that RBG made one of the biggest miscalculations in history (i.e., not resigning when she could have had some influence on who her successor would be).

Her refusal has allowed Trump to re-shape the Court for decades to come thereby undoing at least some aspects of her far left liberal legacy. Her hubris cost her dearly.

This is what happens when “the cause” becomes your religion. She waited because she wanted to be replaced by “The First Woman President of the United States”.
