Sen. Lindsey Graham decisively won South Carolina's Republican Senate primary, receiving 106,164 votes (59.3%) compared to Mark Lynch's 48,171 votes (26.9%) with 35% of votes counted, according to the Associated Press. An InsiderAdvantage poll conducted in mid-May showed Graham with 56% support among Republican primary voters versus Lynch's 13%. Graham's victory came after President Trump gave him his "complete and total endorsement" on Thursday, praising Graham for supporting the SAVE AMERICA Act. The race had been viewed as potentially competitive earlier in the cycle, with a March poll showing Graham at 41% and Lynch at 21%, but Graham ultimately secured a commanding victory. Graham will advance to face Democrat Annie Andrews, who won her party's primary, in the general election.
