South Carolina Republicans Vote in Special Senate Primary to Replace Lindsey Graham

South Carolina Republicans held a special primary on August 11, 2026, to select a nominee for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Lindsey Graham's death on July 11. The appointed incumbent, Darline Graham — the late senator's sister, endorsed by President Trump — faced Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry. If no candidate wins a majority, a runoff is set for August 25. The nominee advances to the November 3 general election.
