💨 Abstract

Former South Carolina Lt. André Bauer has ended his GOP primary challenge against Sen. Lindsey Graham after just over a month, citing a desire to move away from a political climate that "rewards deception over honesty, or ambition over unity." Bauer, a wealthy developer and Trump supporter, had criticized Graham for not being conservative enough. Graham, who has Trump's endorsement, faces intense competition primarily in GOP primaries. Despite his previous challenges, Graham maintains strong Republican support in South Carolina.
