The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Sen. Darline Graham, President Donald Trump’s endorsed appointee to the late Lindsey Graham’s South Carolina Senate seat, stumbled during Tuesday night’s debate when Greta Van Susteren asked whether Taiwan and the South China Sea are U.S. national security issues and why. The exchange intensified scrutiny of Graham ahead of the South Carolina Senate Republican runoff. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly said Graham’s answer left her “mortified” and called the placeholder senator’s performance disqualifying. Anti-abortion activists are also divided over Graham’s candidacy because she lacks a legislative record on abortion, an issue central to her brother’s Senate career.
