Trump rallies for Darline Graham as his approval numbers droop

President Donald Trump visited South Carolina on October 21 to support Sen. Darline Graham, who is facing a tough race for the U.S. Senate seat against Democrat Annie Andrews. Despite South Carolina traditionally being solidly Republican, Trump's rally aimed to boost Graham’s chances after her recent campaign stumbles. More than $34 million has been spent on this election by both sides, with Republicans portraying Andrews as a "radical liberal." Trump endorsed Graham for the seat after her brother Lindsey Graham, a long-time ally, unexpectedly died in July. During his rally, Trump claimed Lindsey respected Darline more than anyone else, including himself, suggesting her credibility and political acumen are stronger than perceived. This high-profile appearance comes as Trump’s approval ratings have been declining.
