Story summary

In a major upset on Election Night, Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician and Democrat, won the U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina, defeating Republican nominee Darline Graham. This marks the first time since 1998 that a Democrat has secured this seat. Graham was appointed by the governor to finish her late brother Lindsey Graham's term after his death in July and had been seen as a strong favorite until recent polls showed the race tightening.

The election saw close competition, with Andrews narrowly defeating Graham despite being an underdog in what was traditionally a Republican stronghold. The result shocked many observers, including NBC News elections guru Steve Kornacki, who described it as "shocking." This victory is part of broader Democratic gains that could shift control of the U.S. Congress.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
