In Hour 3 Segment 1, Charlie James takes a call from Gerald in Cowpens, who suggests voters are drawn to candidate Darlene Graham out of sympathy for the loss of her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, and the desire to carry on the family name. James agrees, noting that being a grieving sister and potentially South Carolina's first elected female U.S. Senator are strong appeals. He reviews the latest Trafalgar Group poll numbers for the U.S. Senate special primary, which show Darlene Graham leading at 27%, followed by Ralph Norman and Russell Fry tied at 17.4%, Mark Sanford at 15.1%, and Mark Lynch at 8.1%. James also updates listeners on candidate Danny Lee Ford II’s legal challenge against his disqualification by the SCGOP, noting the court's temporary restraining order, and discusses primary runoff strategies with caller Joyce from Pelzer.
