WFB- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) defeated liberal challenger Jaime Harrison in a race that became an unlikely target for Democratic leaders working to flip the upper chamber.
Graham led by roughly 10 points when the Associated Press called the race Tuesday evening. The Republican was expected to cruise to reelection in a state President Donald Trump won by 14 points in 2016. But after Harrison—a former lobbyist with ties to top congressional Democrats—twice reported raising more than $1 million a day in September, Graham himself discussed his vulnerability in a slew of television appearances.
Graham fended off the challenge in part by portraying Harrison as out of touch with South Carolina voters. The Democrat racked up millions in assets during his time at the now-defunct Podesta Group, which saw him lobby for a number of corporate giants and even counsel foreign lobbyists at a Turkish “lobbying school.” Graham also benefited from October’s highly visible Supreme Court confirmation hearings, where he guided Amy Coney Barrett to the nation’s top court as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

…a weak-kneed “Republican” friend of the McCains who destroyed Arizona and possibly the Nation over hatred for one man.
Yay, I guess.
On a positive note, we won’t have to listen to Graham’s BS about what
a conservative he is until 2026, so there’s that.
I was hopeful he would be flushed, never thought much of “Limp Wristed Linsey”.
Extirpates, the problem lies within the SC Republican’ts party and
their refusal to run a true conservative and not a squish.
Is there a chance that the phony RINO will have learned a lesson about betraying his “base”? Naaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I have to say it was fun to ignore all his please for our $.
She will do a very half ass job for 4 more years.
Good luck to her.
