Democrat Annie Andrews defeats GOP Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina, a major upset Democrats notched an upset victory in South Carolina’s Senate race, NBC News projects, with Annie Andrews toppling Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who was appointed this year to succeed her late brother, longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham. Andrews, a pediatrician, will be the state’s first Democratic senator in more than 20 years. Donald Trump carried South Carolina by more than 17 percentage points two years ago.

    That should give Darline plenty of time to inform herself on national security. Maybe she’ll realize one of the biggest threats is the GOP.

  • I’m not sure what’s stunning - apart from the fact that it happened in SC: Darline Graham is dumber than a sack of bricks, grossly incompetent, and even the most hardcore republican can’t possible vote for her and think she’s gonna bring any added value for South Carolinians to the senate. Not to mention the risk that she might open her dumb mouth again and shame the whole state by saying something inane. I don’t usually count on the good sense and intelligence of republican voters, but Darline Graham is really over the top. I’m not surprised she lost.

    The race was within the margin of error according to polling. Maybe a major upset from a political geography perspective but not if you believe polling.

    This is so fantastic. I saw Darline saying normal Americans need to kiss her ass. Guess she can kiss OUR ass.

    That it was even close shows what a terrible place South Carolina is.
