Rep. Ralph Norman, the South Carolina Republican who lost to Senator Darline Graham in the GOP primary runoff, says he has no intention of supporting her campaign in the final days before Election Day. A New York Times/Siena poll of 707 likely South Carolina voters shows Graham leading Democrat Annie Andrews by under a single percentage point — a tossup in a state that has gone without electing a Democratic senator this century.

Norman accused Trump of "spreading false narratives" about why Graham is qualified, saying South Carolinians deserve "better."
