Darline Graham faces Republican runoff in South Carolina to replace the late Senator Lindsey Graham
Darline Graham will compete in a Republican Senate runoff in South Carolina this Tuesday to secure a seat following the death of her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham. The administration announced a plan to revoke up to 200,000 business and tourism visas, marking the largest mass revocation in U.S. history. President Trump endorsed Darline Graham, spending over $827,000 from his super PAC to boost her candidacy. Despite her lack of experience, Darline Graham aims to carry her brother's legacy. She faces Representative Ralph Norman, a staunch conservative who argues that her recent debate gaffe regarding defense policy highlights her unreadiness for the office. While the administration announced the visa revocations, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also threatened an "economic D-Day" against Iran, sanctioning nearly 60 corporations and individuals to isolate the regime. Meanwhile, the administration announced that 14 people were charged in a cocaine-trafficking ring at Penn State, though students on campus reported a muted reaction to the news.
