Lindsey Graham wins South Carolina GOP Senate primary

politicsJun 10, 202622294

Senator Lindsey Graham won the South Carolina Republican Senate primary, securing 243,585 votes and avoiding a runoff. He defeated challenger Lynch, WHO received 118,702 votes, and Dismukes, WHO received 21,262, after spending millions and winning President Donald Trump's endorsement. Graham's decisive primary win cements him as the GOP favorite for November and preserves his incumbent fundraising and name recognition advantage against the Democratic nominee.

👀 In heavily Republican Greenville county, SC (Trump 60.2-Harris 38.0), @drannieandrews.com currently has more votes than Lindsey Graham does due to Graham's unpopularity with the conservative base there. She has 15,844 votes to Graham's 13,914.

Weird that the press never calls for Lindsey to "give someone else a chance" like they do with every Democrat.

Lindsey Graham personifies the spineless submission of Republicans in Congress to President Trump. Voters in South Carolina seem to think this is a good thing. Quite astonishing www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/u...

EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Lindsey Graham's vocal support for the US-Israeli war against Iran makes him vulnerable in SC's GOP primary tomorrow. Mark Lynch, the challenger, calls Graham a "warmonger," but in other ways he's significantly to the right of Graham. (paywall) 1/4 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Newsmaxx, OANN, and Fox News with 0% of the vote in, have called South Carolina for Lindsey Graham. So I think she's earned my support.
