Lindsey Graham projected to beat Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is projected to win re-election over Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison, Fox News and The Associated Press report.

While President Trump was expected to win South Carolina easily, Graham faced a tougher fight as Harrison brought in massive fundraising hauls throughout the campaign. Still, with 39 percent of precincts reporting, Graham is ahead with 55 percent of the vote to Harrison's 43 percent, per AP.

Harrison's projected loss forces Democrats to look elsewhere as they aim to flip the Senate. So far, they're projected to gain one seat in Colorado's John Hickenlooper.
