Could South Carolina Flip the Senate? Annie Andrews Makes Her Final Pitch

The Lean to the Left Podcast

About

Could South Carolina deliver a political earthquake that changes control of the U.S. Senate?


Democrat Annie Andrews is challenging Republican Sen. Darline Graham in one of the most surprising races of the 2026 midterm elections.


A New York Times/Siena poll released October 28 shows Andrews and Graham tied at 48% each in a state Donald Trump carried by nearly 18 percentage points in 2024.


In this Lean to the Left Special Report, host Bob Gatty shares his firsthand observations from Andrews' November 1 campaign rally at Valor Park near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.


You'll see exclusive rally footage, hear Andrews make her closing argument to voters, and witness the enthusiastic crowd reaction as Election Day approaches.


Could South Carolina decide control of the Senate?


CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten has explained that an Andrews victory would give Democrats approximately a 96% chance of winning Senate control.


That's not a prediction that Andrews will win. But it demonstrates just how consequential this election could be.

🔹 Annie Andrews makes her closing campaign pitch near Myrtle Beach.


🔹 The New York Times/Siena poll shows a dead heat at 48% each.


🔹 Donald Trump's involvement in Darline Graham's appointment and campaign raises political questions.


🔹 The war in Iran, rising prices, and voter dissatisfaction create challenges for Republicans.

Could that change on November 3?
