Trump tells South Carolina voters to pretend he is on the ballot in Senate runoff
Trump campaigned in Myrtle Beach to support Senator Darline Graham in her Republican runoff against Representative Ralph Norman. During the event, Trump implored supporters to turn out by imagining his own name was on the ballot. He framed the contest as a test of his political influence and urged the crowd to treat the primary as a referendum. The strategy aims to mobilize the Republican base as Graham faces a competitive challenge from Norman. Trump explicitly asked voters to pretend he is on the ballot to ensure high participation. This message reflects a broader effort to link his personal brand to down-ballot candidates.
