Graham survives runoff with help from Trump's super PAC
About this episode
Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., beat back a close challenge from Rep. Ralph Norman to win her GOP Senate primary runoff. We look at the race, and how MAGA, Inc., a super PAC affiliated with President Trump, spent big to get her over the finish line.
Then, a look at the Social Security trust fund. The mechanism funding Social Security is running out of money, and potential solutions aren't popular. How might Congress fix it?
This episode: voting correspondents Miles Parks and Ashley Lopez, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.
This podcast was produced and edited by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs.
Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
