The reporting

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

President Donald Trump rallied in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Friday for Sen. Darline Graham ahead of Tuesday’s Republican Senate runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman. Graham was appointed in mid-July to fill the seat of her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and is seeking the nomination for a full term. Trump urged supporters to vote as if he were on the ballot and said Graham would help fight Democrats in November. He also defended her debate answer that she was not informed on Taiwan and national security.
