> A poll puts Democrat Annie Andrews and Republican incumbent Darline Graham at 48% apiece in South Carolina, which has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1998. Graham is leaning on Donald Trump’s backing, while Andrews has made healthcare a central campaign issue. Other recent polls also show a close contest.
