MAGA Inc. Bets $827K in SC Senate Runoff

President Trump-backed MAGA Inc. spent about $827,000 in the final push for Darline Graham Nordone in South Carolina's Republican U.S. Senate runoff, directing funds to text messages and voter outreach as she faces Rep. Ralph Norman for the GOP nomination to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. The expenditure marks MAGA Inc.’s largest independent outlay of the year, after largely staying out of races this cycle. Trump has actively promoted Graham Nordone, traveling to South Carolina for rallies and coordinating tele-rallies to urge turnout. The contest has come to symbolize a test of Trump endorsement influence against Norman’s established political experience, with Graham Nordone previously facing questions about her D.C. voting presence. The Trump operation has signaled continued support, including plans for a second tele-rally on the eve of the election.
