It’s easy to discount that polling, of course—it was commissioned by The Collective PAC, which is devoted to electing more black people to office, and executed by Change Research, which has just a C+ rating on FiveThirtyEight. Yet other numbers don’t lie. This quarter, Harrison raised $2.1 million, which is the largest amount a Democratic Senate candidate has ever raised in South Carolina. That fundraising tally breaks the previous record of $1.5 million, which was set by—wait for it—Jaime Harrison … in the previous quarter. On top of that, most of Harrison’s funding comes from small donors, unlike Graham, with over 60,000 donors giving an average donation of $26. That grassroots support means that, unlike with large corporate donors, Harrison can return to the well several times.

Next quarter’s numbers are expected to be even higher. That is why the Republican Party is now shaking down their donors, in an attempt to pour money into a race that the GOP believes should not be at all competitive, but also is historic: If Harrison wins, South Carolina will be the first state to be represented by two African American senators, with the other being Republican Tim Scott.

It has been pointed out that Graham has always been a “beta” male, who assumes a subordinate role to a strong “alpha.” That was a role previously owned by Arizona Sen. John McCain, but after his death, Graham decided his new “alpha” would be a man obsessed with insulting McCain … and a man whom Graham had previously called a “kook” and “unfit” to be president. Even McCain’s daughter Meghan slammed Graham’s cowardice, noting that he isn’t the person she used to know.

With few exceptions, (Texas Sen. Ted Cruz come to mind), Lindsey Graham would be deemed too blatantly submissive to be a major elected official. He has been getting away with it due to the nature of deeply conservative South Carolina, but even the Palmetto State is seemingly getting fed up with him.

But this is about Graham’s opponent.

Jaime Harrison in 2013. Lindsey Graham was still in the Senate, but Trump in the White House seemed like an obscene nightmare.

Jamie Harrison is the complete opposite of Graham: a man of unquestioned integrity and character. He is fighting to ensure that every South Carolinian has access to affordable health care, good paying jobs and student loan debt relief. He is a Yale-educated attorney who used to be a high school teacher. He is also very well-connected and popular as the former chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party.

How popular? To give you an idea, Harrison raised $240,000 within just 24 hours of announcing his candidacy with the amazing video below. Graham’s people were none too happy, but they weren’t worried.

They are now.

This race has always been Graham’s race to lose. Thankfully, he seems to be working as hard as Harrison is to make sure that’s exactly what happens in 2020.
