Despite falling behind in fundraising, Graham re-opened a polling lead over Harrison that he hasn't enjoyed in nearly a year.
Harrison's campaign last week announced it collected a record-breaking $57 million in fundraising from July through September. Harrison's fundraising total now stands at $86 million, an all-time record in South Carolina politics. The previous quarterly fundraising record in U.S. politics belonged to Beto O'Rourke, who pulled in more than $38 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Like many races across the country, the partisan splits between Harrison and Graham could not be any clearer. In regards to the Affordable Care Act, Harrison remarked in March that Graham"has proven he doesn't care about protecting health care." While Graham gave a forecast of upcoming Supreme Court arguments which could ultimately dismantle the health law known as Obamacare.
