Trump Campaigns for Darline Graham in Tight South Carolina Senate Race as Polls Favor Democrats

Summary
Rock Hill, South Carolina, hosts President Donald Trump on Thursday as he campaigns for Sen. Darline Graham, whose race against Democrat Annie Andrews has tightened in a state long seen as safely Republican.
The visit underscores GOP concern that Graham faces a stronger-than-expected challenge, with Republicans trying to shore up turnout and hold a seat critical to the Senate map.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune predicted South Carolina Republicans would “come home” to Graham once voters focus on Andrews’ record, while Speaker Mike Johnson argued midterm polls would prove “historically wrong.”
The South Carolina stop comes in a broader final-week scramble in which Democrats are favored to take the House, the Senate remains a toss-up, and both parties are deploying top surrogates in battleground races.
