Nine Republican candidates seeking to fill the late Senator Lindsey Graham’s South Carolina seat made final appeals to voters at a Florence County event before the special election. They discussed the war with Iran, the Democratic Socialists of America and privacy concerns over Flock camera systems, illustrating the range of national and local issues shaping the contest.

The gathering was hosted by Alan Wilson, South Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial nominee. One candidate, Darline Graham, said she would fully support Donald Trump’s agenda and abolish the Senate filibuster; the article says nine Republicans are competing for the seat.
