In Hour 1, Segment 1 of The Charlie James Show on August 3, 2026, host Charlie James kicks off the broadcast by previewing the upcoming South Carolina Republican U.S. Senate primary debate featuring five candidates: Darline Graham, Rep. Russell Fry, Mark Lynch, Rep. Ralph Norman, and former Rep. Mark Sanford. James focuses heavily on candidate Darline Graham, questioning her qualifications and criticizing her reliance on her brother Lindsey Graham's legacy, her Trump endorsement, and her avoidance of local media. He takes a call from listener Mark in Liberty, who humorously compares Graham to "Aunt Bee," while also briefly touching on legal challenges surrounding candidates omitted from the ballot.
