Trump-endorsed GOP South Carolina Senate candidate Darline Graham lost to Democrat challenger Annie Andrews on Tuesday evening.
Senator Darline Graham replaced the late Senator Lindsay Graham over the summer.
Lindsay Graham passed away in July.
South Carolina is the second senate seat the flip blue so far.
The Hill reported:
Republican Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.), who President Trump personally picked to succeed her late brother Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) and was then encouraged by the president to run for a full term, has been projected to be defeated by Democrat Annie Andrews in a stunning loss for the GOP, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
Andrews leads Graham by 4 points with 84 percent reporting, according to DDHQ.
Graham’s lost, projected by Decision Desk HQ, moves the Senate closer to Democratic control, and gives the party a victory few would have seen coming just a month ago. At the beginning of the year, before Lindsey Graham’s death, it would have been nearly inconceivable.
