about SC. I lived there for a brief time decades ago. It was great to see Harrison looking close, but I was doubtful SC’ians would fail to come home to Graham. I’m surprised Mitch thought Graham was in danger, or else the coming wave has him wanting to make sure of already pretty sure things.

Arizona and Colorado being two of the places. I expect they are funneling money into Georgia and South Carolina they may have reserved for those states.

Cmon folks, lets give Jaime the grassroots help to take down this corrupt two-faced bloodsucking liar Lindsay Graham. I just sent Mr. Harrison another donation.

How does a campaign spend $20M in 2 weeks time in a state of ~5.5 Million People? There are 6 TV markets that cover the state, the largest being my home market, Charlotte. I don't get it, unless it's to pay/bribe some locals. #Isitjustme

I live in RI and see their ads here every night. Obviously we can't vote for them, but they are looking for out-of-state funding, and they're getting it.

I've donated to seven out-of-state candidates this term, and Jaime is my #2 in $$$ after Biden/Harris.

I have donated so much to Jamie Harrison’s campaign, I am now in his top 1% of donors. The interesting part is I have never stepped foot in South Carolina.

And honestly, when it comes down to it, it doesn’t matter. Every person in America deserves health care, food, clean water, and an education. Period.

it also opened the floodgates to 7 other close races.

I think Harrison can win but it will be a longshot. It is possible the blue vote in SC is just a bit below what is needed even with good turnout. Between VA, FL, NC, SC, and GA the last of the former solid red states on the east coast SC is by far the most conservative easily 10 points more conservative than the nation.

Still I am hoping for the upset.
