华盛顿讯 — CBS新闻预测，民主党人安妮·安德鲁斯在南卡罗来纳州参议院选举中击败共和党现任参议员达琳·格雷厄姆，上演了一场重大冷门。
45岁的安德鲁斯是一名儿科医生，竞选主张包括改善医疗服务的可及性与可负担性，以及打击华盛顿的腐败。她的对手是现任参议员格雷厄姆，后者是在其兄长林赛·格雷厄姆今年7月突然去世后，被任命填补剩余任期的。
62岁的达琳·格雷厄姆在获任命进入参议院前，曾担任南卡罗来纳州盲人事务委员会专员。她随后赢得特别初选，获得代表南卡罗来纳州的完整六年任期投票资格。
安德鲁斯要在这个自1998年以来就没有选举过民主党人参议员的州竞选成功，面临着艰难挑战，而该州在2024年总统选举中以18个百分点的优势支持特朗普。她批评达琳·格雷厄姆缺乏经验，并指出格雷厄姆在简短的初选期间曾表示自己“对国家安全并非那么了解”。
这场竞选的竞争程度远超预期，迫使共和党出手支援格雷厄姆：共和党主要超级政治行动委员会（Super PAC）参议院领袖基金在10月向其投入500万美元。特朗普控制的超级政治行动委员会MAGA Inc.也在8月向格雷厄姆提供了82.7万美元，而且特朗普本人在鼓励她参选后，也积极为她助选。但在共和党处境艰难的大环境下，这些努力最终未能奏效。
随着安德鲁斯的当选预测出炉，民主党在争取掌控参议院的进程中意外斩获一席。
Annie Andrews wins South Carolina 2026 Senate election, flipping seat for Democrats
November 3, 2026 / 10:01 PM EST / CBS News
Washington — Democrat Annie Andrews defeated GOP Sen. Darline Graham in the South Carolina Senate race, CBS News projects, in a major upset.
Andrews, 45, is a pediatrician and campaigned on healthcare access and affordability, along with fighting corruption in Washington. She faced off against Graham, the incumbent senator who was appointed to serve out the remainder of her brother Lindsey Graham’s term after his sudden death in July.
Darline Graham, 62, most recently served as commissioner of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind, before she was appointed to the Senate. She went on to win a special primary election to take her brother’s place on the ballot to represent South Carolina for a full six-year term.
Andrews faced an uphill battle in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1998, and which President Trump won by 18 points in 2024. She criticized Darline Graham for lacking experience, pointing to comments she made during the condensed primary, when she said she was “not that informed on national security.”
The race, which grew much more competitive than expected, forced Republicans to come to Graham’s aid with a $5 million investment in October from the Senate Leadership Fund, the main Republican super PAC. MAGA Inc., a super PAC controlled by Mr. Trump, also gave Graham $827,000 in August, and he personally campaigned heavily for Graham after encouraging her to run for the seat. But the efforts fell short amid a difficult environment for Republicans.
With Andrews’ projected victory, Democrats secure an unexpected pickup as they look to flip the Senate.
