Rep. Russell Fry, who finished third in South Carolina’s Aug. 11 special Republican U.S. Senate primary, endorsed Sen. Darline Graham for the Aug. 25 runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman. Graham finished first in the primary, with Norman advancing in second, in the race to replace her late brother, Lindsey Graham, on the November ballot. Fry urged his supporters to back Graham, saying President Trump needs Senate allies who “show up every day and get results.” Former candidate Mark Lynch endorsed Norman, leaving eliminated GOP contenders split ahead of the runoff.
