Update: Darline won. I think she will be a RINO, but let’s hope not. She probably won by insulting Ralph Norman and with Trump’s endorsement and funding.
President Trump has endorsed and rallied for Darline Graham to win the Senate primary, and he is pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the race on her behalf. She is a sympathetic candidate, being Lindsey’s sister. However, there are signs that she leans Democrat. We really know little about her.
Darline Graham Nordone admitted she doesn’t know anything about national security. The Senate isn’t a good place to get on-the-job training. Especially now, we need strong conservatives in power. Her opponent in the primary, Ralph Norman, has ten years of experience in Congress and a proven record of conservatism.
Facing her runoff opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman, in a debate, the appointed senator struggled to answer a national security question that would have been right in her brother’s wheelhouse. Asked about the importance of Taiwan to U.S. interests, Graham replied that “to be honest,” she was “not that informed on national security.” Her bungled response potentially resets the race by giving Norman an opening to hammer Graham’s political inexperience.
She is backed by President Trump, a friend, and top Republicans, including barely Republican Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins.

Darline Graham told CBS that after traveling the entire state, “not one” person brought up Taiwan or national security. Instead, everyone is worried about healthcare and affordability. When asked what her actual plan is to fix those issues?
“We’ll see about that when I get there.”

She wanted to be a leader in diversity and inclusion. This wasn’t taken out of context, as she claimed. Read on.
Senator Darline Graham:
“I oppose DEI. I oppose the woke agenda.”Also Darline Graham: “We’re working on all new policies and procedures, putting internal controls in place.
We got a diversity and inclusion committee. I want to be a leader in state agency when it comes to that.” pic.twitter.com/JCMjMCOlEP— Kelly McCarty (@KellyLMcCarty) August 22, 2026
Darline Graham said the DEI comment was taken out of context, but it’s not. You can listen to the full clip below on that. Also, she doubled her agency’s budget, and her DEI committee trained all employees in DEI. Listen to the clip for more information on this issue.
In fact, Darline never donated to or supported Donald Trump. Her only donation is to a pro-choice Democratic senator, not her brother.

The PAC behind her is run by Democrats.
Is Google being manipulated to hide that the fact that the PAC pumping millions into electing Darline Graham is Democrat-run?
The first screen shot below is from August 16. The second screenshot is from today, when I asked Google again if Invest in Tomorrow is a Democrat PAC.… pic.twitter.com/7DOHOV4Icp

Ralph Norman fought to redraw the congressional map while Graham’s machine did the opposite.
While the corrupt RINO Graham machine that runs South Carolina was fighting to keep DEMOCRAT Jim Clyburn’s congressional district, rather than redraw it, Ralph Norman was battling them.
Note the date Norman’s fight began: August 2025. A year ago.
That’s why the Graham machine… https://t.co/DrvJGPBQXf

These are the Democrats backing Darline Graham against Ralph Norman.
These are the guys filling your phone and TV with ads pretending to be from Republicans.
This is who she will owe if she is elected, because they spent millions trying to elect her.
She certainly won’t owe… https://t.co/uCtQHM12B4

THINK ABOUT THIS: Ralph Norman will immediately become the US Senate’s most conservative senator if South Carolina votes to send him to the US Senate tomorrow, Aug. 25.
The thing I love about Norman’s voting record is that he has never let conservatives down. Not once.
There is… pic.twitter.com/NCp2eCCJeD
