Sen. Lindsey Graham Wins Reelection for State Senate Seat

Meanwhile, the highly divisive Senate race in South Carolina ended with Senator Lindsey Graham also winning his reelection. It was the most competitive race seen in the state in years. It was also the most expensive ever recorded. With 91% of the vote counted, Graham was leading by 56.3% to Jaime Harrison’s 42.3%, a significantly wider margin than what many pre-election polls projected. In his victory speech, Graham admitted this was his toughest race yet. He also criticized Democrats in states such as California and New York for wasting their money in American politics. Graham further confirmed he received a congratulatory call from President Trump.
