Summary

A New York Times/Siena poll this week shows Democrat Annie Andrews tied with Republican incumbent Senator Darline Graham at 48% each in South Carolina's US Senate race, turning one of the most Republican states into a dead heat. South Carolina has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1998, and Donald Trump won the state by nearly 18 points in 2024. Graham is the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, and the New York Times reports that an upset was unthinkable just a few months ago.
