Trump accused of trying to 'force' Senate candidate on voters as GOP feud erupts

What happened: Rep. Ralph Norman said he will not campaign for Sen. Darline Graham in the final week before Election Day, accusing President Donald Trump of trying to force his handpicked candidate on South Carolina voters. Key numbers: Cook Political Report shifted the race from Likely Republican to Lean Republican last week. Why it matters: The intraparty fracture comes as Graham runs a closer-than-expected race, with two former South Carolina governors reportedly backing her opponent, Annie Andrews, while the RNC says Republicans are unified behind Graham.
