Sen. Lindsey Graham gets a 2026 challenge from Democrat Annie Andrews, who ran against Nancy Mace
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Dr. Annie Andrews, the South Carolina Democrat who unsuccessfully challenged Rep. Nancy Mace in 2022, says she's running against Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in 2026, challenging the four-term incumbent in part due to what she characterized as his waffling positions over the course of his political career. 'He's changed his position on nearly every issue over that time and that's because, in my view, he doesn't stand for anything or believe in anything other than what it takes to get reelected,' Andrews, a pediatrician in Charleston, told The Associated Press before a campaign rollout Thursday. In her launch video, Andrews says it's 'embarrassing' to see how politicians like Graham — at the moment one of President Donald Trump's top Senate allies — have swung from criticizing Trump to working to gain his favor. The video features archival video of Graham bemoaning critics who called Trump a 'kook' and then, a year earlier, using the same term to describe his former GOP primary foe in the 2016 presidential contest. Andrews also levies criticism at Graham for voting to confirm Trump's Cabinet picks and for his relationship with Elon Musk, describing 'an unelected billionaire ... taking a chainsaw to Social Security, Medicare and veterans' healthcare.' She calls Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth 'a guy who can't even organize a text thread,' a reference to the recent Signal chat scandal in which war plans were discussed. No Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina in decades, and Republicans in recent history typically take statewide seats by double-digit margins. When he last ran in 2020, Graham defeated his Democratic opponent, Jaime Harrison, by a 10 percentage point margin. That contest turned into South Carolina's most expensive ever, with both candidates posting record fundraising that surpassed $200 million total and continued to grow in the race's closing days. Harrison, who went on to chair the Democratic National Committee, became the first U.S. Senate candidate to amass a war chest of more than $100 million over the course of the race. Andrews was the Democratic nominee who unsuccessfully sought to unseat Mace in 2022, losing to the Republican by 14 percentage points. South Carolina's 1st District, which spans the state's southern coast, is the only one to have flipped from red to blue in decades, when Joe Cunningham won it for Democrats for a single term in the 2018 election. Mace won it in 2020 and has been reelected twice, although in 2026 she is eyeing a race for governor. In the years since her House run, Andrews stepped away from her practice at the Medical University of South Carolina and founded a political organization focused on issues related to children, including climate change, gun violence and childhood poverty. According to federal filings, an affiliated political action committee, Their Future PAC, gave $7,000 to a handful of candidates in the 2024 cycle and had about $5,000 on hand at the end of 2024. Asked about Democrats' lackluster statewide record in the state, Andrews said she felt Harrison's effort was 'hamstrung' by necessary precautions in place during the pandemic. Now, she said, voters feel strained under the effects of the Trump administration's 'chaotic' policies. 'Lindsey Graham has had 22 years to make things better for folks here in South Carolina, and I think you'd be hard-pressed to find many voters who could articulate in what way Lindsey has made their life better,' Andrews said. Graham, seeking his fifth Senate term, kicked off his reelection campaign in February, announcing that Gov. Henry McMaster and Sen. Tim Scott would chair his effort. Scott, the state's junior senator, is serving as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the chamber's campaign arm. At least one Republican has announced a primary challenge to Graham. ___ Meg Kinnard can be reached at

Stephen Miller Totally Lost it and Yelled at Immigration Officials for Not Making Enough Arrests
Stephen Millerto 'laid into' immigration officials for not arresting enough people during a fiery meeting about super-charging the Trump administration's mass-deportation effort, Axios reports. The White House deputy chief of staff is an immigration hard-liner, noted as the architect of several of Trump's immigration policies, including the Muslim travel ban and the family separation policy, but sources have told Axios that he is unhappy with the rate at which criminals are being rounded up and shipped off. He reportedly lost it during a May 21 meeting, ordering Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to triple their arrests. Two sources told Axios that they believed their jobs were in 'jeopardy' if they failed to comply. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was also at the explosive meeting, although she reportedly maintained her cool. Deporting unauthorized immigrants was a key campaign promise of Donald Trump. However, Trump's average daily rate of removals is around one percent below what his predecessor Joe Biden's average daily rate of removals was, according to TRAC Immigration. Axios reports that the current administration's deportation rate is 'roughly the same' as it was in Biden's last year in office. Four people familiar with the meeting last week suggest that Miller is acutely aware of this, telling Axios anonymously that he openly blasted immigration bosses at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C. Miller reportedly demanded a rise in arrest and deportation figures and told field office directors and special agents to make it happen. While one source said Miller's stark tone was intended as a rousing speech, two other insiders told Axios that officials fear that if they don't deliver on his demands, they're out. The sources added that this is not the first time that Miller has laid into senior DHS officials. Noem, meanwhile, was calmer in the meeting and sought opinions from officials. 'Keeping President Trump's promise to deport illegal aliens is something the administration takes seriously,' a White House spokesperson told Axios. 'We are committed to aggressively and efficiently removing illegal aliens from the United States, and ensuring our law enforcement officers have the resources necessary to do so. The safety of the American people depends upon it.' The Daily Beast has approached the White House and the Department of Homeland Security for further comment.
