Andrews Calls Graham Corrupt, Launches Senate Bid
Democrat Annie Andrews is challenging Senator Lindsey Graham’s reelection bid in South Carolina’s 2026 Senate race, citing Graham’s alleged corruption and inaction on critical issues impacting children and families. Andrews, a physician with fifteen years of experience at a children’s hospital, attributes her political aspirations to witnessing firsthand the negative consequences of current policies. She previously ran for Congress in 2022, gaining valuable experience despite losing, and now aims to leverage her medical background to advocate for expanding access to healthcare and addressing pressing social issues. Andrews believes her campaign presents a viable alternative to Graham, whose approval ratings are currently lower than several other Republican figures in the state.
