Democrat Jaime Harrison, the former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, is set to announce Wednesday his Senate bid against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“The formal announcement will take place tomorrow morning. I’ll be back in South Carolina tonight, and it’s going to be tomorrow morning where I will formally announce that I am running for the United States Senate for South Carolina against Lindsey Graham,” Harrison said on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Tuesday night.

Harrison announced in February he would form an exploratory committee as he weighed potentially launching a Senate bid in 2020.

Harrison currently serves as associate chairman and counselor for the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He first garnered national headlines when he unsuccessfully ran for DNC chair in 2017.

1. He announced tonight on Rachel Show,

maybe not the FORMAL announcement.

[BigmanPigman]

5. He said that Graham is like a chameleon

after they showed his commercials being negative about tRump then he did a 180. I think he is a hypocrite, not a chameleon.

7. One or the other, a pretty good approach to challenging him.

11. He was very articulate and I loved his video he is putting out about Lindsey Graham. I was

impressed-yes. I was.

[YOHABLO]

2. GOOD!!

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Excellent-- anyone know what his chances are?

8. His chances are not awesome

This is the same state that re-elected Strom Thurmond through sheer inertia, even though he was a complete invalid living at Walter Reed Hospital. They used to have to wheel him to the capital in his wheel chair during critical votes.

10. Sad but true.

Lindsey could come out the closet, and show up in a Pride parade, dressed up as Judy Garland, belting out 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' (God help us).

But as long as he made sure to point out that he's sticking with Cheeto no matter what, most white South Carolinians would vote for him blindfolded.

12. Yup!!

4. Great news!

I'll definitely donate.

6. His campaign should use social media to target conservatives...

...to show them Lindsey Graham's anti-Trump comments.

Divide and conquer.

9. K&R!!!

Oh please make it happen! Been wishing for this since I saw his hypocritical ass rail against Bill Clinton in the 90's.

13. It's hard to believe there are some strong Democrats in South Carolina

The epicenter of treason in the mid-nineteenth century, one of the reddest of red States.... you would think that minorities and the poor would rise up and toss trash like Miss Graham out in a heartbeat... but they don't.

19. They haven't done it in Wyoming, Idaho, Kansas, Texas, either.

Pitting the disenfranchised against each other is as old as the American republic. And it still works, not just in SC.

Check the White House for added proof.

20. Really sad...but effective, unfortunately.

The repuKKKes laugh at "play fair". Politics is a dirty sport.

[BlueWI]

21. Sure.

It's still an important goal to bring more folks together. It has happened before. Good luck out there!

[iluvtennis]

14. I'll be donating to his campaign...we gotta get Lindsay Graham out of that seat.

[RainCaster]

15. I'll be donating to the anti-Lindsay & anti-McConnell funds

No more of that repuke shit gonna happen in my world.

[More_Cowbell]

16. Donated

Lindsey, who was the first GOP member to admit that his emails had been hacked, is obviously being blackmailed. He needs to go.

17. Traitor Graham Gotta Go!

[BlueWI]

18. Thank you, Mr. Harrison

It takes courage and conviction to run for office, and its very timely to do so in this race.
