Lone debate for South Carolina Senate gets testy: 5 takeaways
NewsAgo briefing
The clear picture
What happened
The Hill reports that Sen. Darline Graham (R) and pediatrician Annie Andrews (D) held their only debate in the South Carolina Senate race on Sunday; the exchange became testy. The New York Times reports Andrews accused Graham of following President Trump’s cues, while Graham said Andrews would not reject socialists.
Latest development
The New York Times adds the candidates’ specific reciprocal attacks: Andrews tied Graham to President Trump, and Graham tied Andrews to socialists.
Why it matters
Because The Hill characterizes Sunday’s event as the candidates’ only debate, the reported Trump-and-socialism accusations constitute the available direct-debate record rather than one exchange in a continuing debate series.
