South Carolina Democrat Annie Andrews Wins Primary, Will Challenge Sen. Lindsey Graham in November
Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, won South Carolina's Democratic Senate primary on Tuesday and will face incumbent Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in November. Andrews has pledged to oppose Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., citing concerns about his anti-vaccine advocacy and its connection to measles outbreaks. This matchup is significant because South Carolina has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since the 1990s.
Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician and familiar figure in South Carolina politics, secured the Democratic nomination for Senate in a three-way primary contest on Tuesday. She is expected to face incumbent Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is seeking his fifth term, in the November general election. Andrews has made opposition to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a central campaign theme, vowing to "lead the charge to impeach and remove" him and criticizing his decades-long involvement in the anti-vaccine movement. In an op-ed, Andrews connected Kennedy's advocacy to measles outbreaks in South Carolina, arguing that leadership matters in public health. The race carries historical weight, as South Carolina has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since the 1990s, when former Sen. Fritz Hollings represented the state.
