‘I’m Not That Informed on National Security,’ Graham Says in South Carolina Debate
Senator Darline Graham made the remark in a debate against Representative Ralph Norman, her opponent in the runoff election to succeed her brother, Lindsey Graham. Here are five takeaways from the debate.
At the only debate in a runoff election that will most likely determine the next senator from South Carolina, Senator Darline Graham stumbled over a question about the importance of Taiwan to U.S. interests, saying she was “not that informed on national security.”
The awkward moment, which prompted boos from the audience, underscored her biggest vulnerability in the race to succeed her brother, the late Lindsey Graham. Ms. Graham has the full support of President Trump, but she lacks the experience of her opponent, Representative Ralph Norman, who easily explained why Taiwan is an economic ally for the United States and worth protecting against China.
Lindsey Graham’s sister and fill-in senator says she’s ‘not that informed on national security’
She made the statement during a debate when asked about potential threats to US national security in South China Sea
Asked whether Taiwan and the South China Sea threaten US national security, republican fill-in senator Darline Graham hesitated. âIâm just going to be honest here,â she told Tuesday nightâs debate audience. âIâm â not that informed on national security, so â but I do support the military.â
Gasps, and boos, rolled through the opera house hosting the only debate before next weekâs Republican runoff â a race to succeed her brother, Lindsey Graham, who was one of the Senateâs most committed rightwing foreign policy hawks before his sudden passing in July. She did not retreat.

Darline Graham defends her résumé in South Carolina debate after saying ‘national security is not my thing’
Sen. Darline Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman traded criticism over experience, ambition, campaign finance and policy positions in a Senate primary debate Tuesday in South Carolina, one week before Republican primary voters choose a nominee to replace Graham’s brother, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, on the ballot this fall.
While Graham, a political newcomer, went on the attack against Norman, her thin résumé took center stage in the historic Newberry Opera House on several occasions throughout the debate, including when a question about Taiwan, the South China Sea and American security interests came up.
“I’m just going to be honest here — I’m not on national security,” Graham said. “I’m not that informed on national security, but I do support the military.”
