Senator Darline Graham advances to runoff in South Carolina Republican primary

The Guardian reports that Darline Graham, appointed to complete her late brother Lindsey Graham's Senate term, advanced to a runoff in South Carolina's Republican primary. Graham held a narrow lead in the special primary on Tuesday, but the race for second place was extremely close—Congressmen Russell Fry and Ralph Norman and former Governor Mark Sanford polled within a single point of each other.

The runoff is scheduled for August twenty-five.
