Democrat Jaime Harrison raked in more than $22 million in the first two weeks of October for his campaign to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), according to the candidates’ latest filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Harrison pulled in just shy of $22.1 million, about $7 million more than Graham raised in the pre-general filing election period spanning Oct. 1-14. The fundraising haul comes less than two weeks after Harrison announced raising a record-shattering $57 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Graham managed to pull in $14.8 million in the same time frame, giving him the second highest fundraising total for a Senate candidate in the two-week fundraising period.

Go Jaime, go! Lindsey needs a long vacation.

Jamie is also up 2 points.
 
Sen. Lindsey Graham has a widened lead against his Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison in what is expected to be one of the closest Senate races, according to a statewide poll released Tuesday.


The Republican from South Carolina has 48% support, compared to Harrison’s 42% support, the Morning Consult poll found. The survey was conducted among 903 likely voters from Oct. 2 to Oct. 11, after President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

Lindsey Graham Leads Jaime Harrison in South Carolina Race, Poll Shows
Mr. Graham, in a tough fight for re-election, is ahead by six percentage points, a Times/Siena College poll shows. President Trump leads Joseph R. Biden Jr. by eight points in a state he won by 14 in 2016.

He is about 2% points ahead of Graham. Graham is clearly sweating this election. He has never had to fight for his seat before, so this is new territory for him. If Graham wins, it will be by the skin of his teeth...however, I hope that he is sent home....we will be a Southern state with 2 black Senators...one Democrat and one Republican.
 
I have mild concerns about one of the MI seats. But I'll trade that for Graham - in a heartbeat!

One of the Michigan seats? Only Georgia has two Senate races.

I have been waiting for Lindsey Graham to lose since Barack Obama's first term.
 
How much is coming from out of staters like Follywood celebs?
 
There is no real election this time. Rather, the international wealthiest people on earth via their money and their total control of television, newspapers and the Internet are converting the USA to a corporate-fascist plutocratic state they completely control with "progressives" as their brown shirts and book burners.

Have you ever thought about trying to post a rational message?

LMAO... Something like "The deep state conservative militia, radical right and their handlers are conspiring with the reptilians to overthrow the election but Q is going to save us. Huber, Durham and the IG of every department is about to drop bombshells that will upend the race"
 
One thing that is happening in SC is a historically high number of black voters turning out. https://www.postandcourier.com/poli...cle_e282efc0-188a-11eb-a1d4-0b136024b35e.html

Now, the counties that 'trump won in 2016' are probably waiting until election day to go vote, so I am not counting on that pattern continuing. However, the historically high black turn out will probably skew the results to the left , since the polls showing Graham ahead are of 'likely voters', which are for the most part not the surge of black voters that are getting involved this year.
