Author: FOX News Radio August 25, 2026 Duration: 32:13
Following the death of long-serving U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed the late senator's sister, interim Senator Darline Graham, to fill the vacancy. Now running to complete the term, she faces Congressman Ralph Norman in a high-stakes Republican primary runoff. Former Congressman, former federal prosecutor, and host of The Trey Gowdy Podcast, Trey Gowdy joins the Rundown to discuss why major endorsements from President Donald Trump and Senator Tim Scott give Darline Graham a key advantage, how regional turnout between the Upstate and the Coast will shape the race, and what this competitive primary signals for South Carolina voters. Plus, a peek into his new book, "The Sound of Regret." Politics is becoming a major factor in the search for love, with dating app users increasingly looking for partners who share their political beliefs. New polling shows shared politics ranks above factors like religion, hobbies and looks for many singles, especially younger adults and women. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert joins the Rundown to break down his recent FOX News op-ed on why casting a vote isn't a proxy for character, and shares practical advice on how to stop vilifying the political aisle and reconnect on shared values, hobbies, and real-life compatibility. PLUS, commentary by Tevi Troy, senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and a former senior White House aide. PHOTO CREDIT: AP IMAGES Learn more about your ad choices.
