Before hitching his wagon to Donald Trump, Lindsay Graham had never failed to win an election (4 terms in the House and 3 terms in the Senate) by double digits. His first election running for the Senate (2002) when he was a 4-term Congressman trying to fill Strom Thurmond's seat was the closest (54-44). Otherwise, he's won by at least 20 points. In 2016, he did an about-face and went from a vocal Trump-hater, to one of the most vocal Trump supporters. And now he is locked in a 48-48 battle for the first time in his 26 year Congressional history.

Speaks volumes, doesn't it?

There has been no more surprising race on the Senate map than South Carolina. Even early this year, it looked like Sen. Lindsey Graham would cruise to re-election. Instead, the Republican incumbent finds himself in a tied race in both public and private surveys with challenger Jaime Harrison, who has proven to be perhaps Democrats’ best recruit and a fundraising behemoth.

“It’s a jump ball at this point,” said one South Carolina Republican strategist. “Jaime is peaking at exactly the right time and he’s got a deluge of money. [Harrison] is blocking every pass there is from Republicans.”

Even Democrats in and outside of the Palmetto State are surprised such a typically red state is truly in play. Many Republicans have privately voiced frustrations that Graham’s campaign didn’t take the challenge from Harrison — a charismatic 44-year-old African-American former state party chairman who tells a compelling story of growing up with a teen mother and being raised by his grandparents in impoverished Orangeburg — seriously enough from the get-go.
