00:07Carolina Senate seat. Graham defeated Congressman Ralph Norman in Tuesday's runoff after neither
00:13won the 50% needed to take the nod outright earlier this month. Graham had never held
00:19political office before Governor Henry McMaster appointed her to serve out the remainder of her
00:24brother Lindsey Graham's term following his death last month. She's won the backing of President
00:30Trump who campaigned for her in South Carolina last week. Now with Norman conceding, Graham quickly
00:36turns her attention to November. We cannot and must not allow Democratic Socialists to gain a

00:51conservatives in South Carolina, then they can defeat us anywhere. Once again, they're coming
00:56for us and the South Carolina values we hold dear. Graham will face Democratic nominee Annie Andrews
01:03in the general and Trump's endorsement paid off in another runoff Tuesday night. Former state
01:08senator and Tulsa businessman Mike Mazzei narrowly won the Republican nomination for Oklahoma Governor.
01:14Trump backed Mazzei and attacked his opponent, State Attorney General Gettner Drummond in the
01:20closing days of the race. Mazzei also poured millions of his own money into his campaign.
01:25He'll face Democratic State Representative Cindy Munson in November. And in Alaska, yes,
01:32there will be two Dan Sullivans in the November Senate ballot. Former teacher Dan J. Sullivan has
01:38advanced to face Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan, Democrat Mary Peltola, and one other candidate not
