At least ten Republican candidates have entered the race for South Carolina's U.S. Senate seat following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham 1. Graham, who was 71 years old, passed away earlier this month, triggering a special primary election scheduled for August 11 1. If no candidate secures a majority of votes, a runoff will take place on August 25 1.
Among those seeking the nomination are U.S. Representatives Ralph Norman and Russell Fry, as well as former Governor Mark Sanford 1. Darline Graham, the late senator's sister, was appointed by Governor Henry McMaster to serve as interim senator until January and is also running for the seat in her own right 1. On the Democratic side, Charleston physician Anne Andrews, who won her party's primary in June, will face the Republican nominee in the general election 1.
