Republican Sen. Darline Graham and Democratic nominee Annie Andrews traded sharp criticisms during a televised debate Sunday night, presenting contrasting cases for a South Carolina Senate seat in a race that has tightened unexpectedly as the midterm campaign enters its final weeks.
The hour-long debate—the only scheduled broadcast meeting between the candidates three weeks before the general election—covered issues including foreign relations, economic policy, and artificial intelligence, yet frequently returned to arguments over which candidate was less prepared for office.
