Incumbent Lindsey Graham defeated Jaime Harrison in the race for a US Senate seat.
The State of South Carolina has 7 seats in the US House of Representatives. 6 of the 7 incumbents won their races and will serve another term. Republican Nancy Mace defeated incumbent Joe Cunningham in the first district of South Carolina. The defeat made Cunningham a one-term Congressman, and returned the 1st District to a Republican-held seat, as it had been for many years prior to Cunningham’s 2018 victory.
The US Senate and House races are not yet determined as some states are counting the numerous ballots that came in forms of absentee and early voting. Check live results for the US Senate here, and the US House here.
