Write-In Ralph: South Carolina Republicans challenge Trump’s Senate pick

What happened: South Carolina conservatives launched a Write-In Ralph campaign for Republican Congressman Ralph Norman for US Senate, instead of backing Senator Darline Graham, who has Trump's endorsement. Key numbers: Write-in votes were 0.1 percent of all votes cast in the 2022 South Carolina Senate race. Why it matters: Graham has struggled to unite conservatives despite Trump's endorsement, potentially giving Democrat Annie Andrews an opening in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the US Senate since 1998.
