Businessman Mark Lynch, who ran against Lindsey Graham in the recent June primary, has announced his candidacy for the now open Senate seat in South Carolina. This comes as Rep. Ralph Norman says he will also run for the seat in the wake of Sen. Graham’s death. However, both candidates might be at a disadvantage after President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham's sister who was appointed to finish the remainder of his term. LiveNOW’s Alexandra Goldberg is speaking with GOP candidate Mark Lynch as he explains why he would be the best choice to follow in Sen. Graham’s footsteps in Washington, D.C.

Lynch ‘26 was endorsed by
GOA ... Gun Owners of America
USTL ... U.S. Term Limits
Equal Protection South Carolina ... protect life
I understand naming spouse or family member to finish a term, kind of a respect thing.
But to serve elected term, no way. She needs to fade away back to where ever she come from after January.
If people are going to vote for this woman that’s their right to do so. I can’t say I was particularly fond of Lindsey, and I don’t believe his next of kin should be entitled to his seat at all, and I certainly don’t believe that she should be able to run absent a primary contest. Acting as a placeholder for a couple of months is one thing, potentially becoming a member of the “cuffs or coffin” club is another. If you’re planning on voting for her, please do all the vetting you can, don’t just vote for her because daddy endorsed her.
Lynch should be the obvious choice. I wish him luck
Balderdash......it is an office, not an inherited family title.
The common wonk forgets these people are not nobility.
It should ALWAYS by the absolute BEST person for the job, not a brother, wife (GAG!, or heir.
This weak sister is just that an air-headed mommyish Karen who acts like she is on Ambien.
God save the Senate and the Republic from more insider RINO shenanigans like this.
King Donald has decreed Duchess Darline will inherit Lord Lindsey’s seat in the Senate
“...she has ZERO Conservative credentials She’s not a Republican!”
Since when was any ‘republican’ considered a “conservative” automatically? Just asking. Uniparty be damned!
I’ll take any of the other guys running over Lindsey’s sister.
“I’ll take any of the other guys running over Lindsey’s sister.”
If I lived in SC, I’d do the same. It’s cute that she was appointed for a short stint as an “honor” to LG. But that’s long enough. Ridiculous.
Put on top of that the Trump endorsement. What is he thinking?
what is wrong with Trump?
He didnt have to say a damned thing.
“Put on top of that the Trump endorsement. What is he thinking?”
When PDJT put her name out, it was only in the context of completing LG’s term, I think. I don’t think it was for the permanent seat. (IDK for sure.)
I think he did endorse her.
Well, in that case ... “What is he thinking?”
FWIW: In her position as Commissioner of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind, she was the opposite of small government. Added many employees / positions, bumped up salaries for several including herself, and grabbed as much Federal money as possible for her organization.
(Heard on a podcast this morning. IDK if true.)
Why would Trump endorse Darline Graham? That makes no sense. She’s never done anything to deserve to be put in office.
