Trump-endorsed candidates win Republican runoffs in South Carolina and Oklahoma
Donald Trump secured two significant victories in Republican primary runoffs in South Carolina and Oklahoma, interrupting a recent losing streak for his endorsed candidates.
In South Carolina, Darline Graham won the Republican nomination for the Senate seat previously held by her late brother, Lindsey Graham. She secured 52% of the vote against Representative Ralph Norman. Despite criticism regarding her lack of political experience, Trump's active endorsement and campaign efforts were credited with her success.
In Oklahoma, Mike Mazzei won the Republican gubernatorial runoff, narrowly defeating State Attorney General Gentner Drummond by a margin of approximately 2,047 votes. Mazzei's campaign was bolstered by Trump's support and his stance on a $4 billion aluminum smelter project involving United Arab Emirates investments. These victories provide a political boost to Trump amid declining approval ratings and upcoming midterm elections.
