SCOTUS Battle Pours Lighter Fluid on South Carolina's Senate Race

Most everyone following the heated U.S. Senate contest in South Carolina recognizes that the opening of a U.S. Supreme Court seat—six weeks before Election Day—has shifted the balance of the race.

Which candidate will ultimately benefit, though, depends on who you ask.

Sen. Lindsey Graham was already facing a determined challenge from Democrat Jaime Harrison before Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death last Friday. Less than a day later, Graham officially discarded his stance from 2016 that high court appointments shouldn’t be made in an election year—and fully embraced his role as President Donald Trump’s warrior in securing a third Supreme Court justice.

The dramatic turn of events has already drawn passionate reactions on both sides of the aisle as the South Carolina race, once in the long shot column for Democrats, enters a critical stretch.

In January I budgeted $2500 for political donations this year, more than twice what I normally donate in an election year. By the middle of next month, I expect to hit $5,000 for the year, and that's gonna be all I can do. I sure hope we get where we want to be in November! I'm gonna have to do without some shit next year. Hope nothing falls apart like it has this year.
