In South Carolina, Democrat Annie Andrews defeated Republican Sen. Darline Graham in the Senate race on 3 November, marking the first time a Democrat has been elected to the US Senate from South Carolina since 1998. Republican congressman Ralph Norman, who lost to Graham in the August primary, criticized President Donald Trump for endorsing Graham, giving him an 'F' for his involvement. Norman had previously objected to Trump's intervention in the Republican nomination battle, stating that Trump should not have endorsed and tried to force a candidate on South Carolina. The race also involved questions about Graham's experience and dissatisfaction with Republicans, but the result alone cannot establish whether Trump's endorsement cost Republicans the seat.
