Who’s really trying to unseat Lindsey Graham and what do they actually stand for? In Part 1 of our South Carolina U.S. Senate candidate series, we sit down with Republican challenger Patrick Herrmann and Democratic candidates Dr. Annie Andrews and Kyle Freeman to hear their case directly to voters. From healthcare, infrastructure, and cost of living to gerrymandering, constituent services, and the future of both political parties, the candidates lay out what sets them apart in one of South Carolina’s biggest races. If you want to understand the 2026 South Carolina Senate race, the Lindsey Graham challengers, and the issues shaping voter decisions, this is where to start.
