Sen. Lindsey Graham died on July 11. His death has fundamentally changed South Carolina’s 2026 U.S. Senate race. Gov. Henry McMaster will appoint someone to serve temporarily, and South Carolina Republicans will hold a special primary to select a new nominee to face Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews in November. This column was written before Graham’s death, and its references to his candidacy reflect the race as it stood at the time of publication.
