in recent weeks, with Graham holding a single-digit lead or tied with Harrison. Even a narrow loss for Harrison would be an impressive feat; Graham won his last reelection contest by more than 15 points.
After being vastly outraised and outspent by his challenger in the past month, the cavalry arrived for Graham this week as Republican groups allied with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell dumped tens of millions of dollars into ads tying Harrison to “liberal Democrats” like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In one ad run by Graham’s campaign, Harrison is shown repeatedly in a conversation with “socialist” Sen.
For Harrison, a former top aide to House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn who also led the South Carolina Democratic Party, the contours of the Senate race couldn’t be more different. On the trail, he speaks often about growing up in poverty in Orangeburg and access to health care, citing closures of rural hospitals and the threat to Obamacare from a Republican lawsuit that has reached the Supreme Court. He’s also focused on expanding broadband internet access and fixing crumbling schools and bridges.
Deborah Breedlove, 65, who served as a South Carolina nominating delegate for Barack Obama in 2008, said she believed Harrison would change her state forever. There are about 1 million nonwhite registered voters in South Carolina. The problem for Democrats is that only about half of them vote regularly. If Harrison can drive historic turnout among the Black community, that would bolster his chances of winning greatly.
