Son of GOP Rep. Says He Won’t Vote for Sen. Darline Graham and Is ‘Leaning’ to Democratic Opponent
Warren Norman, son of Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., said he would not vote for Republican Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina’s U.S. Senate race, and noted that he was “leaning” toward voting for Democratic candidate Annie Andrews.
“I am a conservative. I have voted Republican my entire life and I still believe in what the Republican platform stands for: limited government, fiscal responsibility, individual liberty and personal responsibility. This November, I will proudly vote for Alan Wilson for governor and for Republicans up and down elections. But I will not vote for Darline Graham for the United States Senate,” Warren Norman wrote in an article published Friday by FITSNews.
Warren’s father Norman lost South Carolina’s GOP U.S. Senate primary runoff to Graham earlier this year.
“I met with Annie Andrews. We disagree on a lot of things. We also agree on some important things, including anti-corruption and insurance reform. She seemed genuine to me, and she has publicly stated that she will stand up to her own party. That’s the standard I demand of every candidate, and I intend to hold her to it. As of today, I’m leaning toward her. This will be the first time in my life that I’ve voted for a Democrat in a partisan election,” Warren Norman wrote.
“If Senator Graham wins, the establishment that supported her will protect her in all future primaries. This seat could be hers for 24 years or more. If Annie Andrews wins and doesn’t stand up to her party like she promised, South Carolina voters can hold her accountable and replace her with a strong conservative in six years. Six years we can hold her accountable, or 24 years we can’t. To me, it’s not a difficult decision,” he explained.
The Graham campaign responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment Monday by highlighting a message about X from Rep. William Timmons, R-S.C.
“It is unconscionable that a true conservative would vote for Annie Andrews’ agenda of high taxes, defund the police, open borders, trans therapy for children, and gun confiscation. A true conservative would never want liberal Chuck Schumer to take over the U.S. Senate and empower democratic socialists to run amok in Congress,” Timmons wrote in Friday’s X post.
