Donald Trump's super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., is investing approximately $828,000 to support Senator Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) in her primary runoff against Representative Ralph Norman (R-SC). According to a Federal Election Commission filing, the PAC reported spending $827,711.11 on text messages and phone calls in support of Graham Nordone, marking its largest independent expenditure this year.
The financial support is part of an effort by Trump and his allies to bolster Graham Nordone's chances in the runoff election scheduled for Tuesday. Trump is also planning a tele-rally for Graham Nordone the night before the election.
Graham Nordone and Norman are in a competitive race, with polls indicating a close contest. The winner will fill the Senate seat left vacant by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who was Graham Nordone's brother. Graham Nordone was appointed to the position last month following her brother's death, and Trump quickly endorsed her as his successor.
Trump indicated that MAGA Inc. has plans to utilize some of the $400 million it has accumulated for supporting candidates in upcoming elections, although he did not specify where the PAC would focus its efforts ahead of the midterm elections.
