South Carolina Senate race a tight contest

Hey there, Anthony. Well, turnout actually looks pretty good so far this morning. It's slowed down a little bit, but then ramped up and we're expecting to see a little bit more people here come during lunchtime. But a lot of voters have kept They have been telling me for weeks now that they really just want the cost of living to come down. Now, when they talk about the high prices, they're also saying other issues like health care is really what's driving them to the polls. And even the final Fox News power rankings does show that the Senate seat could be a toss up. Now, President Trump has supported Darlene Graham throughout the campaign, closing out October with two rallies in South Carolina and telling voters to pretend he's on the ballot, hoping it will drive Republicans to the polls. Hours before Election Day, Graham told voters- She'll carry on her late brother's legacy in the Senate, but also she stayed on the tack, taking aim at her Democratic challenger, Annie Andrews. Right now, my Democratic opponent, she is not going to support the Second Amendment. She is for these transgender surgeries and treatments for minors. She believes in abortion up until the time the baby can feel pain, and the list just goes on. Meanwhile, Andrews says South Carolina is ready for change. In a final appeal to voters, Andrews took some shots at her rival. But she also focused on a message of bipartisanship, saying she can work with both parties in Washington. South Carolina will show the entire country that we here proudly in South Carolina finally figured out how to work together and move forward together past this hyper divisive, hyper partisan era of politics. Now, Anthony, more than one million people voted early here in South Carolina. That's already double than what they saw in the midterms in 2022. So it'll be interesting to see how the numbers come out later by the end of today. Anthony. Indeed it will. Chelsea, thank you very much for that report from on the ground in South Carolina.
