Democrats notched an upset victory in South Carolina’s Senate race, NBC News projects, with Annie Andrews toppling Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who was appointed this year to succeed her late brother, longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Andrews, a pediatrician, will be the state’s first Democratic senator in more than 20 years. Donald Trump carried South Carolina by more than 17 percentage points two years ago.

      I… I’m starting to feel the same way. I’m holding my breath still. Because… I have hard time believing that these evil people will let go of power willingly.

        They need to win leadership election. Who would be good challengers? Just below average AIPAC financing would be a start for candidates. Happens 2 months from now.

      This is just the starting point. If Dems look at these results and still want to do the same old then we’ve gone nowhere.
