Sen. Lindsey Graham has won his Republican primary in South Carolina, NBC News projects, after spending millions to secure the nomination.
Graham faced multiple primary challengers on Tuesday, but the biggest threat came from self-funding businessman Mark Lynch, who loaned his campaign $5 million. Graham’s campaign spent more than $13 million on ads in the race, according to AdImpact, as he battled Lynch for the GOP nod.
Graham got a boost from Trump, who endorsed the four-term senator last year, and Graham touted his record and his work with Trump in the primary. In one campaign ad, a narrator said Trump “delivered on his promise to close the border” with Graham’s help, adding that Graham is “there for South Carolina, delivering for President Trump.”
Trump also recently slammed Lynch as a “lunatic,” criticizing his support for GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, which Graham highlighted on the airwaves. The Graham campaign also attacked Lynch for past arrests on charges related to cocaine and driving under the influence. Lynch has said he sought treatment and “got clean and sober.”
Lynch, meanwhile, argued that Graham has been in office for too long, saying the state was “done with attorneys and career politicians,” and he highlighted Graham’s past clashes with Trump. One ad from the Lynch campaign was solely footage of Trump slamming Graham back in 2016.

Glad someone posted an election thread.
By the way, Nancy Mace got trounced in GOP Gov Primary.
How often was Lindsey on Hannity begging for campaign contributions?
Think Linda is going to grab his beloved bubble wand and take another solo trip to Disney World to celebrate?
Ugh we cannot get rid of that fraud.
Oh, well. You can’t win ‘em all.
Pathetic scumbag is like boil we can’t get rid of. I despise him.
It’s only election day. How can they know the results before July?
A great day for MAGA.
How do you figure? Grahamnesty is as swampy as they get. I don’t know why Trump wasted an endorsement on this rino, but at least Texas, and Louisiana voters took a stand against the deep state.
I’m not celebrating.
Linda won. Deal with it.
Mace-I’ll miss her. Easy on the eyes even with a screw loose.
Yep.
Confirmed Senate seat kept.
Unfortunately.
Most likely.
Nor am I.
Same here. Grahamnesty is just another worthless RINO.
Senator Lindsey Graham has received significant funding and support from Jewish pro-Israel groups throughout his campaigns, even though there are little more than 30,000 Jews in SC among a population of 5.7 million non-Jews.
Graham found his hawkish, staunchly pro-Israel foreign policy for the minuscule 30,000 SC Jews pays off. During his 2020 re-election campaign, the “Republican” Jewish Coalition members funneled over $1 million to Graham, with Executive Director Matt Brooks calling Graham a “critical ally” for Jews. Graham is a top recipient of money from pro-Israel interest groups.
Wealthy Jewish activists and donors in SC are few in number but have contributed to his campaign and to his Super PACs (such as “West Main Street Values”).
In 2015, during his presidential bid, Graham noted the importance of “Jewish campaign funding”............. suggesting it might result in “the first all-Jewish cabinet in America”.
hooray for warmongering neocon faggots!
He has stabbed Trump in the back when Trump needed him.
