Donald Trump Vlog: Darline Graham Endorsement for Senate - October 17, 2026

12:00 PM
Donald Trump 00:00:00-00:00:25 (26 sec)

A very special hello to South Carolina, a place I love. I won three times, three out of three, and got the highest vote in the history of your state by just high numbers, record numbers. It's been incredible. The relationship I've had to your state has been unbelievable and the relationship I have to you, and I appreciate it, very important.

Donald Trump 00:00:25-00:00:50 (25 sec)

I'm asking everyone in South Carolina to get out and vote for a wonderful person, a great woman, I believe, a woman that Lindsey Graham said is the greatest person he's ever met, respected her more than any other person he's ever met, which always bothered me because I said, "Well, what about me? I thought I was there." No, I think it was the sister, Darline.

Donald Trump 00:00:50-00:01:21 (30 sec)

He loved his sister, he respected his sister, and he was a great guy. So I'm here to ask you to get out and vote for Darline Graham for the United States Senate. She's really got what it takes. She's an amazing person. I've gotten to know her very well. Darline has devoted her entire life to the people of South Carolina, and after her brother, the late, great Lindsey Graham, and he was indeed, he was a great politician actually, passed away unexpectedly.

Donald Trump 00:01:21-00:01:57 (36 sec)

I asked Darline to run. She's already a respected member of the Senate who is delivering for your state every single day. She just won a primary race against a very talented, very good politician, and she won quite easily, and she's a winner. She's gonna be a winner and she's gonna be somebody that South Carolina's very proud of. Darline is fighting to give you the lowest taxes, the biggest paychecks, the strongest, most secure borders ever, and she will always defend your right to keep and bear arms.

Donald Trump 00:01:57-00:02:25 (28 sec)

In other words, she will always defend your Second Amendment. Darline is running against a radical-left maniac who's totally misunderstood. They don't know how bad she is, named Annie Andrews, who wants schools to turn your children transgender as soon as possible. She's in favor of the transgender mutilization of your children.

Donald Trump 00:02:25-00:02:53 (28 sec)

She's in favor of men and women's sports and illegal aliens pouring into South Carolina. She wants high taxes, and she's willing to allow high crime. She doesn't care. She even told her supporters to defund the police and to abolish the police if possible. And you know, one thing I've learned about politicians, it's the first words out of their mouth, and then they change for an election.

Donald Trump 00:02:53-00:03:18 (25 sec)

But when they say it, the first things they say, that's what they go back to all the time, always. South Carolina needs to defeat Annie Andrews and elect the incredible Darline Graham to the United States Senate. Early voting begins on October 19th and ends on Saturday, October 31st. Vote earlier, vote on Election Day, November 3rd, but you have to get out and vote for Darline.

Donald Trump 00:03:18-00:03:41 (23 sec)

She's gonna be an incredible, really an unbelievable senator. And like her brothers, it's good genetics. Her brother was a great politician who really helped me a lot. He could deal with anybody and he often had to. And she's something that's gonna be very special. You're lucky to have her. So, South Carolina, go out and vote for Darline Graham.

Donald Trump 00:03:41-00:04:03 (21 sec)

You'll be very proud of your vote years from now. When you look back, you're gonna be very proud of that vote. And thank you very much for what you've done for me. Three wins by the highest totals ever in the history of your state. You can't do better than that, and I love you too. Thank you very much.
