South Carolina Senate
There's no live forecast for the 2026 South Carolina Senate race: Lindsey Graham is off the ballot, and Republicans haven't named a replacement yet.
No Republican nominee
Lindsey Graham, who had won the June 9 Republican primary, died on July 11, 2026. Gov. Henry McMaster appointed his sister Darline Graham to serve the remainder of the term; a special Republican primary on August 11 selects the nominee who will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November.
No forecast is published for this race. A Republican nominee is due by August 11, 2026; the forecast returns once the new matchup is polled.
Lindsey Graham left the race on July 11, 2026. Because this seat has no forecast, it is held out of the Senate-control simulation rather than counted for either party. source
