South Carolina rep. Ralph Norman suggests 'something's got to change,' while hinting he will challenge Graham in the Senate primary in 2026.
Norman, a member of the influential House Freedom Caucus, said he's considering running for the South Carolina seat while accusing Graham of being"basically a liberal." Graham, a relative moderate in the GOP, has faced challenges from his own party for his Senate seat before, although often from little known candidates.
However, Norman could potentially be a significant challenge for Graham, in another sign that the hardline and far-right members of the Republican party areLindsey Graham listens during a news conference on the U.S. Supreme Court as Sen. Ted Cruz looks on at the U.S. Capitol Building on July 19, 2023, in Washington, D.C. South Carolina rep. Ralph Norman said he is considering challenging Graham for his U.S. Senate seat in 2026.
"I like Lindsey personally, I don't like his policies," Norman said."What I don't understand about Lindsey, after he gets elected for four years he's basically liberal. And the last two years, he's conservative. So yeah, I think something's got to change." Noman added that while"competition is good," he has not definitely made a decision on whether to challenge Graham or not.In response, Graham said he is currently focusing on next year's elections, rather than his potential 2026 reelection bid.
"I'm worried about the 2024 elections," Graham told Raju."Keep the House, pick up the Senate, win the White House."there was"nothing to add" beyond the senator's remarks on helping the GOP win the 2024 elections when asked for comment about Norman's potential challenge.
