Darline Graham dodges when asked if she would’ve certified 2020 election

Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday refused to say whether she would have voted to certify the 2020 presidential election, as the Republican looks to secure a win in South Carolina’s GOP Senate runoff this week.

The senator was asked by MS NOW’s Mychael Schnell about whether she would have affirmed former President Biden’s victory — a result President Trump has consistently denied without evidence.

“I think our election system is broken,” Graham responded. “That’s why I think it’s so important that we get the SAVE America Act passed. That’s why I wanted to stay through recess to get that done.”

Graham was tapped to replace her late brother, former Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and serve out the remainder of his term after he died last month from a “brief and sudden illness.”

Trump urged the late lawmaker’s sister to run for a full term shortly after their July meeting in the Oval Office, calling her a “spectacular person” and a “true American Patriot” in a Truth Social post.

“Lindsey was one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, and his sister shares his deep love of our Country, and the State of South Carolina,” Trump wrote.

Darline Graham will face Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) in the Tuesday runoff, after both candidates failed to obtain a majority of the vote in the state’s Republican primary earlier this month.

Norman criticized Graham after she fumbled a question about Taiwan and the South China Sea during a debate last week and admitted that she was “not that informed on national security.”

“Contrary to my opponent, foreign policy and national security is a top concern,” Norman told Fox Business on Monday.

Graham later defended her response in an interview with Fox News, saying she has “said many times I’m not a politician, certainly not a career politician.”

The winner of the Republican runoff will face pediatrician Annie Andrews (D) in November. The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election forecaster, rates this race as “solidly Republican.”
