The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Trump urged newly appointed South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham Nordone to run in the Aug. 11 special Republican primary for a full Senate term and promised his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” Graham Nordone, the sister of late Sen. Lindsey Graham, was appointed by Gov. Henry McMaster after Graham’s sudden death and sworn in to serve the remainder of his term. She has privately discussed a possible campaign, and Trump’s endorsement could discourage other Republicans from entering the primary.
