South Carolina went blue for Annie Andrews. Did Horry County flip on Darline Graham?

When President Donald Trump traveled to Myrtle Beach in August to stump for Sen. Darline Graham, he told supporters he would return for a golf trip if the Republican senator won her election. If the president returns to the Grand Strand, it won’t be to make good on that promise. Despite support from Trump and other notable conservative politicians in and out of South Carolina, Graham failed to sway South Carolina voters at the ballot box. For the first time in decades, South Carolina elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate. Did the Myrtle Beach area flip blue for Dr. Annie Andrews or hold for Graham? Darline Graham’s run for office The late Sen. Lindsey Graham comfortably won his Republican primary in June. After his death in July, Gov. Henry McMaster appointed his sister, Darline Graham, to finish her brother’s term. For the Aug. 11 special Republican primary election, Sen. Darline Graham announced her intent to run for a full term. Graham took the lead in that initial primary, with 109,881 votes – roughly 32.75% – but failed to garner a majority.

Did Myrtle Beach area send Russell Fry back to Congress? Here's the voting results

Republican U.S. Rep. Russell Fry will continue representing South Carolina’s 7th congressional district after voters reelected him for a third term. With all counties reporting, the incumbent congressman garnered roughly 56.71% of the votes with 172,308 ballots, based on preliminary results. “America’s future belongs to the people who show up with ideas,” Fry said in a statement. “The Democrat party has spent a lot of time telling America what’s wrong with it. They embraced socialism with open arms, an idea that has failed everywhere it’s been tried. Tonight, our district resoundingly rejected that.” Retired U.S. Navy Command Master Chief and small-business owner John Vincent, who represented the Democratic Party in South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District race, received an estimated 43.22% of votes, according to preliminary results. Fry first took office in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022 after serving seven years in the South Carolina House of Representatives. He was reelected in 2024 with roughly 71.4% of the vote. This election cycle, Fry bested Vincent to keep his congressional seat. Challenger John Vincent “The message really is that no one party really owns a district or a state, and the sooner we get away from letters after names, and
