哥伦比亚广播新闻预测，安妮·安德鲁斯周二赢得南卡罗来纳州联邦参议院民主党初选，民主党人再次尝试在11月推翻共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的席位。
安德鲁斯是一名儿科医生，两年前曾与共和党众议员南希·梅斯对决并落败。
哥伦比亚广播新闻同时预测，格雷厄姆周二晚间击败了多名初选挑战者，赢得共和党提名。
格雷厄姆自2003年以来一直占据该席位，外界预计不会出现翻盘。他在2020年以10个百分点的优势击败民主党人杰米·哈里森，而南卡罗来纳州自2000年以来就没有民主党人赢得过全州性公职。
今年3月，哥伦比亚广播新闻采访了安德鲁斯，询问她为何要在如此不利的情况下参选。
“所以我不介意当那个不被看好的人，”安德鲁斯说，“我是一个斗士。在我看来，南卡罗来纳州民众已经准备好做出改变了。林赛·格雷厄姆是一个贪腐、懦弱的职业政客。他担任我们的参议员已经23年了。民众都清楚，他早已抛弃了南卡罗来纳州的选民。”
布朗在接受WCSC采访时表示，格雷厄姆并非政坛劲敌。
“我不认为格雷厄姆参议员算得上任何意义上的劲敌，”布朗说，“我们需要一名候选人，他会每天为南卡罗来纳州民众的利益发声，将南卡罗来纳州民众的利益放在首位，服务于使命，而非权力。”

Democrat Annie Andrews to face off against Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, CBS News projects
June 9, 2026 / 10:12 PM EDT / CBS News
Annie Andrews won South Carolina’s Democratic primary for Senate on Tuesday, CBS News has projected, as Democrats once again try to unseat Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in November.
Andrews is a pediatrician who faced off against Republican Rep. Nancy Mace two years ago and lost.
Graham defeated several primary challengers on Tuesday night, winning the Republican nomination, CBS News also projected.
Graham has held the seat since 2003, and an upset isn’t expected. He defeated Democrat Jaime Harrison by 10 points in 2000, and no Democrat has won statewide office in South Carolina since 2000.
In March, CBS News asked Andrews why she would run against those odds.
“So I don’t mind being an underdog,” Andrews said. “I am a fighter. And it is clear to me that people in South Carolina are ready for something different. Lindsey Graham is a career, corrupt, cowardly politician. He’s been our senator for 23 years now. And people understand that he really has abandoned South Carolinians.”
Brown told WCSC that Graham isn’t a powerhouse.
“I don’t see Senator Graham as a powerhouse anything,” Brown said. “We have to have a candidate who’s going to be arguing every day for the interest of South Carolinians and putting South Carolinians first, serving purpose, not power.”
