Candidates vying for the late Senator Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat will participate in a debate on Monday. Approximately ten candidates are in the race, but political analysts in South Carolina suggest that only a few are serious contenders. Political consultant Dave Wilson stated that the debate offers South Carolinians an opportunity to hear from the candidates directly, describing it as a crucial job interview ahead of the primary election. Key candidates include Darline Graham, who was appointed to her brother's seat and has received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, along with Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry, and former Governor Mark Sanford. Wilson noted that Fry may benefit the most from a strong debate performance, as he lacks the statewide recognition that some of his opponents possess.
