Interim Senator Darline Graham (R-SC) faced criticism after a debate moment went viral, highlighting her lack of knowledge on national security issues.
The debate took place during a Republican primary runoff against U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman.
Graham was asked about national security concerning Taiwan and the South China Sea.
She admitted, "I’m not… that informed on national security," while stating her support for the military and mentioning her brother's service.
Graham was appointed to the Senate following the death of her brother, Lindsey Graham, and is currently serving the remainder of his term.
She is campaigning for a full six-year term after finishing first in a prior primary.
Prominent endorsements include Donald Trump and Russell Fry, who finished third in the previous primary.
Graham's debate gaffe has raised questions about her qualifications for the Senate, especially in handling critical national security topics.
