Incumbent Lindsey Graham, backed by President Trump, is under fire as new reports reveal Lynch owes $50K–$100K in federal taxes and hasn’t disclosed the source of $5 million in campaign funds—sparking an ethics complaint. Lynch’s 1984 felony conviction, which he claims was pardoned by the president, lacks official confirmation, and a 1985 accident where he allegedly fled the scene resurfaces, though he denies it was a hit-and-run. Graham’s team is weaponizing Lynch’s record, including his shaky constitutional knowledge, as polls show Graham ahead but still needing over 50% to avoid a runoff.
