Donald Trump is holding a rally in Clemson, SC, on Wednesday night for Sen. Darline Graham, because she is locked in a tight race with Dr. Annie Andrews for a Senate seat in a state that has sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1998.
If Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Senate candidate in the United States, Darline Graham is the least qualified. Graham only got the seat she currently holds because her brother Lindsey died, and she had to survive a runoff to get where she is today.

Republicans are enraged that they are having to spend money in South Carolina to shore up Graham.
MS NOW reported:
To some Republicans, spending a single dollar in South Carolina is a waste in a year when control of both chambers of Congress is up for grabs.
“It’s political malpractice that we’re even having to spend money in the state,” the GOP official said.
That money, the official argued, belongs in battleground states, not a ruby-red one.
“South Carolina should not be a state where we have to spend money to shore up a Republican nominee,” the official said. “That money is better used in other states, but we are here, and this is the cards that we have to play right now.”
Republicans are hauling Trump to South Carolina to try to save Graham, but they can’t fix the party’s biggest problem.
