Darline Graham in Tuesday\u2019s South Carolina Senate race. With about 89% of precincts reporting, Andrews led 51% to 47%. A pediatrician who previously ran unsuccessfully for congress in 2022, Andrews will take the seat once held by Graham\u2019s late brother, Lindsey. The South Carolina result was a notable pickup for Democrats in an otherwise poor night for the GOP; the state has not had a Democratic senator sence 2005. In neighboring North Carolina, Democrat and former governor Roy Cooper won the open seat, defeating Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley for the seat being vacated by Republican Thom Tillis.  <\/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<div class=\"c-blog-post__content s-wysiwyg s-wysiwyg--blog\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:30px;\" id=\"elevenlabs-audionative-widget\" data-height=\"90\" data-width=\"100%\" data-frameborder=\"no\" data-scrolling=\"no\" data-publicuserid=\"cb0d9922301244fcc1aeafd0610a8e90a36a320754121ee126557a7416405662\" data-playerurl=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/player\/index.html\" >Loading the <a href=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/text-to-speech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elevenlabs Text to Speech<\/a> AudioNative Player&#8230;<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/player\/audioNativeHelper.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democratic candidate Annie Andrews defeated the Republican incumbent Sen.
