Senator Darline Graham faces a new political challenge on Tuesday, competing against Representative Ralph Norman for the Republican nomination for a South Carolina Senate seat. The race comes as a string of recent primary losses has put pressure on former President Donald Trump’s endorsements. Graham, who has received Trump’s backing, is looking to break that losing streak in a state where the former president remains highly popular. Norman, a fellow Republican, is positioning himself as the alternative in the contest. Voters will decide which candidate advances to the general election.
