Trump to Rally for Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina Amid Split Over Russia Sanctions
Photo: Washington ExaminerPresident Donald Trump was scheduled to travel to South Carolina on Wednesday to campaign for Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who faces a closer race than her party expected in a state Trump won by nearly 18 points in 2024. Newsweek placed the evening rally in Clemson. Graham is running for the first time since replacing her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died July 11 at 71. Five days earlier, Trump froze the Russia sanctions law named for him. It passed the Senate 86-11 on August 7 and the House 262-159 on September 16, and Trump signed it two days later. Graham told reporters Saturday she would keep pressure on Russia because she does not trust Putin.
