South Carolina can't afford D.E.I. Darline Graham!

Vote Ralph Norman for U.S. Senate this Tuesday!

🚨 Newly uncovered video of Darline Graham discussing the Diversity and Inclusion Committee at the South Carolina Commission for the Blind—an initiative she led while serving as its director.

Darline: We got a diversity and inclusion committee. I want to be a leader in state agency when it comes to that.

[Mark Sanford @MarkSanford]

With very few exceptions I have refrained from seeking or giving political endorsements because I have long believed the sacred decision of a vote is best left between a candidate and the voter. This was made real in my first run for Congress when everyone had endorsed others without me even having the chance to meet. How could they endorse without even knowing anything about me or what I wanted to do? I have also been circumspect here because every candidate brings with them a unique perspective, background and set of campaign goals and promises.

So we are all different and I think it's best if there are fewer voices rather than more as we make decisions in our local polling places, but in some cases the contrasts are so strong as to warrant exceptions to a self-prescribed rule, and as I have watched this race for the US Senate unfold over the last week, I am compelled to offer my perspective. So let me offer three thoughts.

One, my prayers continue to go out to Darline Graham. I know her to be a good lady and my relationship to her late brother, her staff and many of her supporters had me wanting to do as I had done so many times before and stay neutral in this race.

Are there things on which I disagree with Ralph, absolutely. But again there are no carbon copies as candidates, and I have seen first hand his experience in legislative circles, matched by a conservative voting record and conservative stands.

And all of this brings me to a binary choice, not only on the bigger question of less government and more freedom, but on who do I believe holds the best shot at holding the line on government spending, our debt and its accompanying deficits? I am freaked about this issue given our crossing of the $40 trillion federal debt mark this week. It has heinous implications for all of us. And so as much as I would like to honor tradition and old friendships, the stakes are simply too high as our nation really is at a financial tipping point. It's for these reasons and more that I will be voting for Ralph on Tuesday and respectfully ask that you do the same.

[Ralph Norman Fan @RalphNormanFan]

Imagine being a National Security PAC and endorsing a candidate who knows nothing about national security

😂😂😂

[Senator Matt Leber @voteleber]

I did not think I had heard that right. This admittance should be the end of this race.

🚨BREAKING: Lexington County GOP endorses @RalphNorman for Senate!

This is Darline Graham’s home county & one of the largest counties in the state!

[JB 🇺🇸 @WrongthinkUSA]

Dark money and out of state money is pouring into DEI Darline’s coffers.

That’s all you need to know for the person spending 500% more than her rival.

Ralph Norman! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Tara Servatius @TaraServatius]

Proof that in South Carolina, RINOs roam in herds.

Russell Fry spent his time as Whip in the SC state House pushing/voting for a massive 70% gas tax hike you're still paying today. He had a pathetic 45% Club for Growth score.

Of course he endorsed Darline Graham.

[Joseph Gentry @JosephG49245264]

Vote for Ralph Norman if you love South Carolina!

[Meg Gallagher @meggalla]

Russell Fry’s endorsement of Darline Graham confirms everything I suspected. Russell is pro-establishment, and I believe his senate candidacy - while still running for Congress - was meant to split Ralph Norman’s vote.
I suspect Mark Sanford either will not endorse anyone, or will also endorse Darline.

[Carter Threatt @carter_threatt]

How naive Matt. With Trump’s endorsement, name recognition and the sympathy vote, Darline Graham still couldn’t break 50% against a crowded field. Now Russell Fry’s voters are supposed to put her “off the charts?” Ralph beat Fry and is closing fast. Record over name. Vote @RalphNorman August 25th.

[Adam Morgan @RepAdamMorgan]

🚨Ralph Norman was the original sponsor of the SAVE America Act back in 2020.

Proven, consistent conservative.

[Adam Williamson @AdamWilliamsonl]

If you care about:

- the unsustainable national debt
- babies’ lives before they are born
- faith
- family
- freedom

You should vote for @RalphNorman for Senate.

[Carter Threatt @carter_threatt]

Wrong again Russell. SC doesn’t need someone who “knows what it means to struggle” in the Senate — SC needs someone who knows how to legislate, fight, and win. @RalphNorman has the record, the endorsements, and the votes to deliver for President Trump. The cause IS bigger than any one candidate — that’s exactly why it needs a proven fighter. Record over name. Vote @RalphNorman August 25th.

[Carter Threatt @carter_threatt]

Might be the smartest thing a Clemson student has ever said. Go Gamecocks and vote @RalphNorman on August 25th.

[Clemson College Republicans 🐅 @ClemsonCRs]

This should tell you everything you need to know about who to vote for. Pretty petty to include an unnecessary "dig" against Norman's long-standing, conservative record, as if it were a bad thing! With enough uncertainty in the world for young people, I'd like to know what I'm getting.

The United States Senate is not amateur hour. Darline is wholly unqualified. You're just endorsing her brother's staffers! We'll stick to merit-based endorsements, thanks. VOTE RALPH NORMAN ON AUGUST 25th!

[Carter Threatt @carter_threatt]

@CodyForSC @realDonaldTrump @DarlineGrahamSC Disappointed to see this. SC needs a proven America First fighter with the voting record to back it up. @RalphNorman has spent his entire time in office fighting for SC taxpayers. The record matters on August 25th not the last name.

[Carter Threatt @carter_threatt]

Interesting endorsement from the Lt. Governor who spent nearly 8 years sitting next to McMaster while SC state spending ballooned and our roads got a D rating. If Pamela Evette is the standard for “real results” then SC is in trouble. @RalphNorman has the actual record. August 25th.

Darline Graham in Big Trouble After South Carolina Primary

Sen. Darline Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman are headed to a runoff for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat. Despite Trump’s endorsement and a first-place primary finish with about 35%, nearly two-thirds of South Carolina Republicans voted against Darline Graham. Between Graham and Norman in the runoff, it’s clear that Republicans in South Carolina want a known quantity like Rep. Ralph Norman.
