South Carolina Republican Russell Fry Announces Run for Lindsey Graham's Senate Seat
South Carolina Republican Representative Russell Fry announced on Monday that he will run for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). In a campaign statement, Fry expressed grief over the loss of Graham, whom he called a 'legendary leader' and a close friend, and stated that the focus now shifts to the future. Fry's entry into the race marks the beginning of a competitive Republican primary to fill the seat in a deeply conservative state. The announcement comes as South Carolina prepares for a special election to determine Graham's successor.
