Trump campaigns in South Carolina to support Senate candidate Graham

President Donald Trump campaigned in South Carolina on Wednesday to support Republican Senator Darline Graham, who is in a surprisingly competitive Senate race for the seat once held by her late brother, Lindsey Graham.



Less than two weeks before the November 3 election, Darline Graham is running about even in the polls against Democrat Annie Andrews in a state Republicans typically win handily, another sign of the political headwinds confronting Trump's party amid high gasoline prices and the war in Iran.



Despite poll numbers showing his popularity at an all-time low, Trump has campaigned in multiple states in an effort to maintain Republican majorities in Congress. All 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 Senate seats are at stake on November 3, with Democrats favored to regain control of the House and be competitive for control of the Senate.



Protesters interrupted Trump multiple times during his speech at Clemson University. The crowd chanted "USA" as security guards escorted the protesters out of the arena. Sporadic protests have interrupted proceedings at recent rallies by Trump, who repeatedly cast the demonstrators without evidence as "paid protesters."
