Lindsey Graham Primary Election In S.C. Called

In the solidly red state, Graham remains heavily favored in November against any Democratic opponent. Party leaders say his experience and influence ensure continued strong representation for the Palmetto State.

Not long after the polls closed, Graham was declared the winner over businessman Mark Lynch in the GOP primary.

Lynch has spent recent days responding to a growing list of allegations involving his finances, criminal history, and campaign operations.

The latest controversy stems from an exclusive report by the Washington Reporter, which alleged that Lynch’s most recent Senate financial disclosures show he has not yet paid between $50,000 and $100,000 in federal taxes for the 2025 tax year.
