1:06Now PlayingPresident Trump praised Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday night after she advanced to a runoff in the special Republican primary for the Senate seat in South Carolina.
"It's great that she's doing so well and she's a very good woman," he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews. "She's got good genetics because she's related to Lindsey, who was a real professional."
The president said he plans to campaign for her in South Carolina ahead of the Aug. 25 runoff, but said he also liked the other candidates running to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who died unexpectedly last month.
"Just so you understand, I like the other people in the race also," he said. "They're all Trumpers."
He said his endorsement of Sen. Graham was "really in honor of her brother."
"Lindsey loved his sister," he said. "More than anything else, he would tell me about his sister, that she's just outstanding. He actually said she's better than him. That was hard for Lindsey to say."
