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.

    Darline paid tribute to her dead brother by finishing on the bottom; his favorite sexual position.

        Two comments for two equally terrible transphobes. I shouldn’t be able to say the exact same thing about them but yet here we are ̄\(ツ)/ ̄

    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.

      Trump picked her though. That’s what’s hilarious about this, he’s saying that the candidates are shitty when he picked some of them, lol.

        And he picked those candidates on Jan 6th riot supporter absolute loyalty basis. Graham’s “I don’t need to care about foreign policy” zombie was the perfect Trump rubber stamp candidate.

    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.
