- Six in ten South Carolina Senate voters question Darline Graham’s experience.
- Most Republican voters think she is qualified.
- Ohio voters have concerns about Jon Husted’s support for Trump.

## Summary

Darline Graham was appointed to South Carolina’s Senate seat after her brother, Republican Lindsey Graham, died in July, and is now seeking election. An AP Voter Poll found that about six in ten voters doubt she has the experience to serve, raising questions about whether voters see her as politically equipped for the role.

Most Republican voters believe Graham has the right experience, while voters are divided over whether her Democratic opponent, paediatrician Annie Andrews, is too extreme. The article also describes Senate contests in Georgia and Ohio: about half of Georgia voters consider Republican Mike Collins too extreme, while six in ten Ohio voters say Republican Jon Husted is too supportive of Donald Trump; Ohio voters are split on Democrat Sherrod Brown.
