In Hour 4, Segment 2 of The Charlie James Show on August 3, 2026, host Charlie James breaks down campaign tactics in the South Carolina U.S. Senate special primary, focusing on push polling being conducted by Darline Graham's campaign. He reads a listener text describing a survey that framed negative hypothetical questions about rival candidates to sway voter opinions in favor of Graham Nordone. Caller Janice from Gastonia calls in to discuss the Democratic National Committee's financial struggles, noting that after the end of certain federal funding streams, the DNC is heavily indebted and attempting to mortgage its headquarters. Callers Terry and Doug weigh in on candidate accessibility and key debate topics—such as the Senate filibuster and federal spending—with James criticizing Graham for relying on softball interviews with national figures like Sean Hannity and Trey Gowdy while continuing to avoid local South Carolina media.
