Overcoming the toughest challenge of his political career, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham won reelection to a fourth term Tuesday night, defeating Democratic nominee Jaime Harrison.

Fox News and the Associated Press called the race at about 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Polls had the race tied at points in August and September. But it appeared the race took a turn in Graham’s favor when Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died energizing conservative voters who saw Trump cement a conservative majority on the high court with the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett.

Graham, who trailed in fundraising and campaign advertising, chaired Barrett’s confirmation hearings that were televised, giving him increased exposure to voters.

1. Pity.

Harrison is a good man. He would have brought so much integrity to that state.

Instead, they re-elected a weak sycophantic fool.

9. And thus dies the cries of "BLUE TSUNAMI!"

And the GOP is a dead party.
I've been hearing that since 2004.

We need to take a hard look at our voting booths. Something is wrong.
The GOP is cheating right under our noses, and we aren't doing anything about it.

I can't fucking believe I'm saying this AGAIN after the last steal by the GOP.

10. I'm not sure

how we'd fix it, given that the Dems aren't in power in many places. Republicans won't even attempt to look into this issue.

11. This and Joni Ernst were the worst news tonight to me. nt

12. Russia

I am sure Russia has a lot to do with a lot of this tonight.

13. Maybe there'll be an investigation of Russian money; I'm sure he took some

There are a lot of dirty senators now. A legitimate AG might investigate them.

14. Dammit, I do wanted to get rid of him. Nt

15. I realize it's a long shot but if we knew what tRump was holding over Graham

to flip him from a anti-tRumper to a pro-tRumper, maybe we could get him to vote with Democrats on bills
instead of siding with Moscow Mitch. Somebody out there knows what it is.

16. SC fell for his phony act again.
