Story summary

As of November 4, 2026, Democrat Annie Andrews defeated Republican incumbent Darline Graham in a closely contested Senate election in South Carolina, marking the first time since 1998 that a Democrat has won the state's Senate seat. The race was considered pivotal due to its tight margin and historical Republican stronghold status; Graham had been personally chosen by President Trump to fill her late brother Sen. Lindsey Graham’s seat. Polls showed the race tightening in the final days, with Andrews narrowly edging out Graham despite significant campaigning efforts from Trump.
