Darline Graham Nordone in South Carolina&#8217;s GOP primary runoff,aiming to help her secure a full six-year term. The PAC&#8217;s expenditure includes text messaging and phone calls, marking its largest autonomous spending this year. Trump has endorsed Nordone following her appointment after her brother, the late Lindsey Graham, and plans a second tele-rally on the eve of the election to bolster her campaign. The primary occurs amid Trump\u2019s recent string of primary losses, with polls showing a tight race between Nordone and her opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman. Trump also indicated that he plans to start spending heavily from a $400 million war chest to support various Republican candidates, including possibly defending his endorsed candidates in close races like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton&#8217;s contest.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> super PAC is pouring nearly $828,000 into a last-minute push to help Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/darline-graham-nordone\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"23139\">Darline Graham Nordone<\/a> (R-SC) fend off Rep.
