This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

But Darline is so qualified for the job because…. she’s the sibling of the dead guy? My sister is a pediatric surgeon. I’m a stockperson. By that rationale I’m qualified to operate on your children’s eyeballs. 🙄

The only thing more terrifying than a politician who is hated by one side is a politician who is so mediocre that they’ve achieved universal consensus. It’s a rare kind of political alchemy.

wouldn't want ole Darline soiling her Warmongering brother's Unblemished Record of Supporting EVERY illegal war & Insurrection that ever passed by his desk. did I mention how he came to LOVE thedjt?

The ongoing insurrection and hijack of the US by the demented authoritarian magats is not 'heated rhetoric from both sides.' It is as starkly one-sided as putin's illegal attack on Ukraine. In fact, 'the rhetoric' in the US has not begun to catch up with the dire state of crisis maga has imposed.

The swiftness and fierceness of Trump's endorsement of such a spectacularly unqualified candidate really makes me wonder whether the dark, disturbing kompromat that Trump obviously had on Lindsey also affects his sister.

Sure hope the payback isn’t watered down reform. But with @schumer.senate.gov trying to hold his seat, we’re sure to keep funding the genocide. And highly doubt we’ll start taxing billionaires and criminalizing behavior that keeps the 1% in power. No to Darlene. But it better come with real change.

Similar happening w/ Ossoff and Collins race in Georgia! Collins is so awful and Ossoff so great he’s picking up Republican support My husband was floored when his thrice Trump voting coworkers said they voted for Ossoff…unfortunately they still voted for Jackson in Governor race…

We need to *demand* more from our reps. Mandatory town halls to stay in touch with constituents & if they don't do them they are to be primaried. Term limits for ALL branches. No more stock trades! No more big PAC $ & cap on annual donations to any PARTY by all family in a HH & ALL their assoc biz's

ABSOLUTELY! And MAKE THEM VOW, to keep their word and promises made to constituents, or pay a penalty! THIS WAY, NO ONE can make empty promises, as t-rump and HIS ENTIRE administration does, and get away with it!...NO MORE!... Their 'Word', to us, WILL BE 'GOSPEL'!

Lie to congress during your confirmation hearings or non-responsove to direct questions (not like taking the 5th, but coming with a list of attacks on others but no answers) You're done. Nomination is immediately rejected by the new order of the people.

After the Liz Cheney stuff I wonder if this only doubles the odds that a voter hates someone in your ad and so it doesn't really help. But, good to see anyway, not saying it HURTS

Am I wrongly assuming the older the men and women in the US House & Senate, the more they’re inclined to being sensible, decent people with a desire to make America work out well for most Americans, with the newer gens more extreme & more prone to be affected by scandalous behaviour?

I’m confused, isn’t the late Senator Lindsey Graham’s sister’s name Darline Nordone? It sounds like she’s listed on the ballot using a name she hasn’t used since before her first marriage. Does her name on the ballot match her name on her drivers licence, passport, voter registration, etc.

Hopefully Graham will lose and we won't ever have to hear her awful voice ever again, that also applies to Susan Collins and can't wait for JFK jr to be ousted and jailed for bring back measles and killing kids

You would think the fact that the man that occupied that seat before she occupied it was a pedophile, he paid Boys for sex. That should automatically be a disqualifier to the sister of such a scoundrel .

That's my question. Yes it's "good" she's getting these endorsements, but this also conveniently seems like an opportunity for that Republican to pat himself on the back so late in the cycle. Just being ultra cynical even if I am bullish on Annie.

My longshot made the turn on the outside, found clean air and is driving hard for the finish line! Go Doc go! You can do this South Carolina. You are going to love the 21st century.

a politicin in australia , Helen Haines independent member of Parliament. Prior to entering politics, she worked in nursing and midwifery services, and as a health researcher in academia,. she has been run down in the street . she has lost 2 legs . its more than just talk .

We have had a few previous governors from KS endorse the Democrat running for senate. It is refreshing to see common sense prevail over divisive politics

It’s interesting to see people from different parties come together. It also shows how important experience, qualifications, and earning public trust are in politics.

Darlene Graham can (and probably will) win by convincing South Carolina voters that she's neither educated, informed, nor particularly smart, and neither are they. Trump will tell her how to vote, so why sweat the details?

Darline Graham got her brother's seat simply by being his sister... no relevant experience. Zero political acumen. She can't even handle basic questions. Lindsey Graham actually adopted his own sister so she could receive USAF benefits. He cheated the system. Now she's trying to cheat it too.
