Trump Desperately Seeks to Save Face With Nepo Sister Panic Rally

Evan Vucci/Reuters Donald Trump is making another last-minute intervention for embattled Senate candidate Darline Graham as the president scrambles to save face over yet another rocky endorsement.

Trump will hold a tele-rally for Graham on Monday night—hours before voters head to the polls for Tuesday’s runoff election in South Carolina—in his latest bid to boost her campaign after a disastrous week of stumbles.

The move comes merely three days after Trump traveled to Myrtle Beach to campaign in person for the political novice, whom he endorsed for the coveted Senate seat following the unexpected death of her brother, MAGA Senator Lindsey Graham.

Darline Graham’s lack of experience exploded to the fore during a debate last Tuesday night when she confessed her ignorance of national security, her brother’s signature issue.

The former disability services executive also incorrectly said South Carolina had 50 million residents; the actual population is roughly 5.5 million.

The blunder, which led to boos from the audience, prompted an immediate backlash, including from some in MAGA ranks.

“I’m sorry,” said podcaster Megyn Kelly.

“I know she’s just pinch-hitting, but that’s disqualifying, is it not?” Graham is vying to fill the South Carolina Senate seat for the next six years over her more experienced GOP rival, Rep.

Ralph Norman.

But the race is also politically dicey for Trump, given his rising losing streak of endorsements.

Ten GOP candidates backed by the president have now lost their primary race ahead of November’s midterms.

Among them was Trump conspiracy theorist and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, who came up well short in his bid for governor in Minnesota, while in Florida incumbent Rep.

Cory Mills lost by double digits to former news anchor Ryan Elijah.

And Graham herself did not have enough votes to avoid Tuesday’s run-off against Norman, despite Trump’s early support.
