Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician challenging Lindsey Graham for his South Carolina Senate seat, is polling within about three points of him, and Hawk cannot quite believe a state Donald Trump has never lost is suddenly competitive. Watching a clip of Andrews in conversation with Steve Schmidt, Hawk lays out why a race most people wrote off looks genuinely winnable.
The knock on Graham, in Andrews' telling, is flip-flopping. Voters do not know where he stands because he no longer stands for anything, positioning himself wherever Donald Trump tells him to. Hawk notes how that grates on the old John McCain and Mitt Romney style center-right Republicans and independents, the same voters among whom Trump's numbers have cratered, and argues that erosion could carry over to Graham.
Andrews makes her pitch as a problem solver rather than a career politician, someone who spent 20 years on the front lines of a broken healthcare system and is over-performing a generic Democrat by double digits with independents. Hawk contrasts her with DSA candidates elsewhere, calling her a strong fit for South Carolina, and points to Graham tying himself to the war with Iran as a liability.
