南卡罗来纳州联邦参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（共和党籍）周二晚间在该州共和党联邦参议员提名初选中以微弱优势胜出，此次初选共有六名候选人参与角逐。
尽管初选共有六名候选人，但真正的较量主要在格雷厄姆和商人马克·林奇之间展开。此次初选对决再次暴露了共和党内部持续存在的分歧，特朗普阵营的候选人与总统本人领导的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动内部的边缘势力形成对立。
格雷厄姆正谋求其在参议院的第五个任期，此前他刚刚推动共和党700亿美元移民执法法案在国会获得通过。他将晋级11月的大选，对手是儿科医生安妮·安德鲁斯博士。安德鲁斯同样在周二南卡罗来纳州民主党参议员初选中的三方角逐中胜出。

格雷厄姆是参议院中唐纳德·特朗普总统最坚定的盟友之一，并于去年年初获得了特朗普的背书。
而林奇则在近期获得了特朗普前国家反恐中心主任乔·肯特的背书。
“他是‘美国优先’候选人，”肯特在X平台的背书视频中说道，“他将让我们远离所有这些外国战争，而他目前是最有能力将好战的新保守派林赛·格雷厄姆赶下台的人选。”

林奇还呼吁国会中“出现更多马乔里·泰勒·格林、马特·盖兹和托马斯·马西这样的议员”，这里指的是前众议员马乔里·泰勒·格林、马特·盖兹以及共和党中特朗普的主要批评者之一、肯塔基州联邦众议员托马斯·马西。
格林和马西都已成为特朗普及其政府最直言不讳的批评者之一。不过马西上个月在肯塔基州竞争激烈的初选中被特朗普背书的候选人击败。

这种立场导致特朗普在Truth Social平台上抨击林奇，呼吁南卡罗来纳州选民支持格雷厄姆而非林奇。
“林赛·格雷厄姆参议员干得非常出色，”特朗普说道，“他的对手是一个名叫马克·林奇的疯子，这位候选人支持或许是美国历史上最糟糕的国会议员、来自肯塔基州大联邦的托马斯·马西。”
“我不必过多赘述，但无需多说，马克·林奇对共和党来说将是一场灾难，而林赛·格雷厄姆恰恰能把工作做好，”他继续说道，“全程投票给林赛。让美国再次伟大！”

Trump ally Lindsey Graham survives challenge from GOP’s anti-establishment wing

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., squeaked out a win Tuesday night in a crowded primary race for the Republican nomination in the Palmetto State.
Though there were six candidates, the contest truly fell between Graham and businessman Mark Lynch. Their primary battle again brought forth the ongoing feud within the GOP, pitting Trump-aligned candidates against the edges of the president’s own MAGA movement.
Graham is running for a fifth term in the upper chamber and is fresh off successfully advancing the GOP’s $70 billion immigration enforcement package. He’s now headed to the general election in November, where he’ll face off against Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, who survived a three-way primary contest in South Carolina on Tuesday.

He is also one of President Donald Trump’s most ardent allies in the Senate and was endorsed by the president early last year.
Meanwhile, Lynch was recently endorsed by Trump’s former National Counterterrorism Center director, Joe Kent.
“He is the America First candidate,” Kent said in an endorsement video on X. “He’s gonna keep us out of all these foreign wars, and he is the best postured right now to get the warhawk neocon Lindsey Graham out of office.”

Lynch also called for “more MTGs, Gaetzes and Massies” in Congress, referring to former Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and one of Trump’s biggest critics in the GOP, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
Both Greene and Massie have evolved into some of the most vocal critics of Trump and the administration. Massie, however, was felled last month in a hotly-contested primary race in Kentucky by a Trump-backed candidate.
FOUR SENATE REPUBLICANS AGAIN UNITE WITH DEMS TO BLOCK TRUMP’S SAVE AMERICA ACT

That alignment saw Trump go after Lynch on Truth Social, where he called on Palmetto State voters to buck him for Graham.
“Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a fantastic job,” Trump said. “He is running against a LUNATIC named Mark Lynch, who supports perhaps the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky.”
“I don’t have to go into great detail, but needless to say, Mark Lynch would be a DISASTER for the Republican Party, and Lindsey Graham just, GETS THE JOB DONE,” he continued. “VOTE FOR LINDSEY ALL THE WAY. MAGA!”
