Proud to stand with my Sister Senator @SenatorShealy as we stand in support of @AnnieAndrewsMD for US Senate. We need to put people or partisanship and prioritize South Carolinians over Washington. We can do this!!!!

Radel: The president was here with five days to go until the election. What do you think that says about the state of the race here in South Carolina? Annie Andrews: It says that I have an incredibly weak opponent who needs people to speak for her. She’s reading scripts. She had quite a doozy of a script up on that stage today. I didn’t hear a lot about what I’m hearing from voters on the high gas prices, grocery prices, closing rural hospitals. She’s just up there name-calling. Unfortunately, that’s not going to get the job done for the people in South Carolina

If Dems are going to take control of the House, this is one of the races they need to win. And each has a significant Black voter base! 4/25

Senate Majority PAC (D) jumps into #SCSEN with five days to go:
NEWS! Senate Majority PAC is moving $750K into South Carolina for a digital ad campaign supporting Annie Andrews. We'll draw a sharp contrast between Andrews and Darline Graham, focusing on Graham raising health care costs and Rx drug prices.

This afternoon I had the opportunity to host our Data Center Town Hall: “Understanding the Debate, Empowering Our Communities” at Richland Library Main Branch. With so much conversation surrounding data center development in South Carolina and across the country, I wanted to create a space where residents could move beyond the headlines, hear different perspectives, ask questions and better understand both the potential opportunities and concerns associated with these developments. A special thank you to Congressman Ro Khanna for joining the conversation and sharing his perspective on this important issue, as well as to each of our panelists , Zakiya Mickle, Shane Kinloch and John Brooker for lending their expertise, insight and time to help our community better understand the complexities surrounding data centers. I was especially encouraged to see how far this conversation reached. We had attendees travel from as far away as Dorchester County to be part of today’s discussion, which speaks to just how important this issue has become for communities throughout South Carolina. Thank you to Richland Library for providing us with a space to have this important community conversation, and to WACH FOX and The MinorityEye for coming out to cover the town hall and help extend the conversation beyond the room. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended, asked thoughtful questions and remained engaged throughout the discussion. My goal was never to tell our community what to think, but to provide information that helps people ask the right questions and make informed decisions about what is best for their neighborhoods, families and future. The conversation doesn’t end here. I look forward to continuing to listen, learn and ensure our communities have a voice as South Carolina navigates these important decisions. #TameikaIsaacDevine #SCDistrict19 #SCDataCenters #DevineDownload

In an op-ed out today, the son of GOP Rep. Ralph Norman says he's voting for a Democrat - Annie Andrews - for the first time ever. Ralph Norman lost to Sen. Darline Graham in the special SC primary. 11 days to Election Day.

Spoke this afternoon with Conway Belangia, the State Election Commission executive director, who said if today's early voting numbers are any indication, the state could log 2.2M to 2.3M voters. "Excellent" for a midterm election, he says. Interview coming soon.

Thank you to Mayor Lethonia Barnes for inviting me to visit Excellent Learning Pre-School in Florence yesterday. Hearing firsthand about the challenges facing this excellent center was concerning. After some families lost child care scholarships, enrollment dropped nearly 50%! Yet, the dedicated staff continues finding creative ways to serve children and families. Quality child care is not a luxury—it’s essential to our economy, working families, and children’s future. Without access to high quality early childhood education, too many children risk entering kindergarten unprepared to learn. Today’s child care crisis will become tomorrow’s K–12 education crisis if we fail to act! We must ALL advocate for affordable, high-quality early childhood education and sustainable funding for our child care providers. Our children deserve better, and South Carolina’s future depends on it! #ChildCareCrisis #EarlyChildhoodEducation #SCChildren #InvestInOurChildren

Hold on. You can't make this up. Darline Graham warns that Annie Andrews, who NEVER elected to anything, will drive up the debt... while PRAISING Trump, who added $12 TRILLION to it, the most in American history, for "fraud, waste, and abuse." Annie's response was priceless.
