Lindsey Graham wins South Carolina GOP Senate primary

politicsJun 10, 202622351

Senator Lindsey Graham won the South Carolina Republican primary, clearing the majority threshold and avoiding a runoff to secure the GOP nomination for the November Senate race. Graham, a four-term senator, defeated a wealthy 'America First' challenger after spending millions and winning President Donald Trump's endorsement. His victory keeps a high-profile incumbent on the ballot in a race that will influence control of the U.S. Senate this November.

Lindsey Graham, in his victory speech: “I want to thank the big guy. God. Trump comes later. Mr. President, you’re not far behind God.” 🤢🤢🤮🤮 Why bother? Piggy already has him by his balls 🤭😆

I think that you are giving the rest of them too much credit. Were their balls ever that big?

Lindsey Graham took only 57% of the vote after he and his allies spent $15 million on ads in the primary. Republicans saying he was always safe and the talk about him having trouble with the base was just on social media should ask why that $15 million didn't go to a general election somewhere.

I still believe that Trump has some on Lindsey Graham, the change in Graham was so dramatic, I could never make sense of it. 😂😂

Unprincipled and parasitic Lindsey Graham after winning the SC primary last night “ I want to thank the big guy God. Trump comes later. Mr. President you’re not far behind God.” 🥴 Please do better South Carolina.

Lindsey Graham personifies the spineless submission of Republicans in Congress to President Trump. Voters in South Carolina seem to think this is a good thing. Quite astonishing www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/u...
