Story summary

In the 2026 midterm elections, Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician and Democratic nominee, won the South Carolina Senate race against incumbent Senator Darline Graham (R-SC), marking the first time since 1938 that a Democrat has secured this seat. Polls leading up to Election Day showed the race as neck-and-neck, with Graham receiving additional funding from the GOP as an "insurance policy" to prevent a Democratic win. Andrews campaigned on healthcare reform and highlighted her medical expertise to address looming crises in Medicaid and hospital ownership by predatory investors. The surprising victory underscores shifting political dynamics in traditionally Republican strongholds like South Carolina.

The Lioness of the Senate!' Coulter wrote on X. The biting remark came after 'nepo-Republican' Graham's humiliating loss in Tuesday's election. Graham was defeated by Democrat Annie Andrews in South Carolina, dealing a stinging blow to Donald Trump, who handpicked the late Lindsey Graham's sister to run for the Senate seat vacated after his sudden death in July. Andrews led Graham 51 percent to 47 percent with 86 percent of the vote counted. Trump, who carried the state by 18 points just two years ago, had thrown his weight behind Graham, campaigning for her during the primary runoff and returning twice in the closing weeks of the campaign. But his intervention failed to save a candidate whose campaign was dogged by questions about whether she was equipped for the job. asserted
