One thing people are not talking about is what a crappy job Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) did as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, for the 2026 election cycle. When I saw he was the one picked, I knew we were going have problems. We sure did.

I see people mentioning DeSantis, Rubio, Vance etc in 2028.
Guess you all learned nothing from Tuesday.
We will either get an America First candidate through the GOP Primary or you can get used to losing.
We aren’t playing games any longer.

We need your help! Let’s make the change SC desperately needs!
If you are a member of an independent conservative group in this state, please reach out to your leadership and get them in touch with me or vice versa. It is time we unify all the small groups and at least have the leadership communicating so that we can fix the General Assembly.
We are in the process right now of trying to get some of the larger groups to come together so that the coalition goes from the 5,000 we saw Tuesday night to 50,000 in 2028. Lots of news will be coming as I get the pieces in place for the future.
As I said many times 11/3 was merely the kickoff.

Here, here! I for one am glad to see some of the newcomers understanding. The thing is here, we have options, numerous, better options. We just have to get them in office replacing the RINOs.
The write in was less about Ralph as an individual and more about the larger scale. He was the best option for the conservative voter. He was the only option. How he was dismantled by DC was and is the epitome of everything South Carolinians despise about politics.
We didn’t put our best foot forward, but we did stand up. Now we have to build and take some of these state seats back in the primaries so we don’t lose them to Dems.
I don’t blame a single Write-In Ralph voter for yesterday’s results. In fact, I now have more respect for their principled stance than I do my own.
Almost 100,000 people who voted for Alan Wilson did not vote for Darline Graham. The same holds true for the other Republican candidates running for governor, AG, treasurer, comptroller, and agriculture & education secretaries.
Being from a blue state, I’ve been holding my nose in the voting booth for so long that I didn’t understand why people would cast a protest vote with so much at stake. Micah Caskey’s loss underscores the message: South Carolina voters are done with the neocon, go along to get along, do nothing Republicans and RINOs in the statehouse.
I respect those protest voters, because they’re right: it’s the only way to teach the SCGOP a lesson. Whether or not they learn it is a different story. I hope they do.
Thank you to my friend @MadMike118, who respectfully engaged in thoughtful conversations about the senate race. Please be patient with me, I’m learning.
God bless the great state of South Carolina.

The SC GOP and its establishment needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt.
Yall wanted to let out of staters and outside money decide our primary? Congrats now you’re represented by a transplant who can’t even say "South Carolina" properly. Yall wanted to govern liberally while having an R next to your name? Congrats now you’re represented by a leftist who thinks trans kids are a thing.
Weak, spineless, corrupt. Will do anything except their job. South Carolina deserves better!

South Carolina flipped to the Democrats because Trump endorsed a Republican candidate who had no qualifications, no experience, no political skills, no resume at all, and whose only pitch to the voters was "I'm the sister of Lindsay Graham." Just a staggeringly idiotic strategy that failed exactly as any reasonable person knew that it would.

Republicans suffered their worst losses in more than 60 years up and down the ballot last night because national Republicans abandoned the America First platform and the promises that delivered our 2024 victories.
No new wars. Full release of the Epstein files. Putting our country’s needs ahead of every other nation’s. The neocons President Trump campaigned against in 2015 failed us again.
Nothing we did at the local level could overcome this national environment—an environment shaped in large part by a pointless war in Iran. National Republicans defended that war despite the fact that we are losing it and fell into an escalation trap. The war is being fought on behalf of another country, and it rests on the same recycled claim that Iran is “two weeks from a nuclear weapon” that we have heard for twenty years.
My heart is broken for the many local Republicans who were principled public servants and still lost because of poor governance from the national party. It is painful to watch good people who did everything within their control get punished for decisions made far above them. God had other plans.
I will have more to say in the coming days. We need a hard family conversation about the soul of the Republican Party. For now I am still heartbroken and angry, still trying to make sense of it all.
I remain committed to fighting harder than ever to retire the old, broken Republican Party and rebuild one that actually delivers on what 2016 and 2024 promised: a nationalist-populist America First agenda paired with a clear commitment to restoring Christian values at every level of government.
Despite losing some of my closest friends in office last night and watching two socialists win seats on Dorchester County Council, there was one bright spot. My wife, Meredith Westfall, became the youngest elected official in South Carolina’s Lowcountry at age 31. She won every precinct in her school board district—a true mandate from our neighbors. She is exactly the kind of leader who can help build the coalitions of the future, and I know she will make our community, our school district, and Dorchester County families proud. Thank you for trusting her with this responsibility. We do not take it lightly.
In the months ahead, local and state leadership in the Republican Party will change. I will spend the next few weeks deciding where I can make the greatest difference inside the South Carolina Republican Party. For now, my heart is still broken.
If you have MAGA in your bio and you’re fussing at me because Darline lost and want to blame Ralph Norman for the loss, I personally can’t take you seriously. You’re not a very serious person, nor do you have a clue what you’re talking about. You just go by what someone told you instead of looking into the real facts and data.
Thank you for your attention to the matter

Let this be a lesson to @realDonaldTrump and @SCGOP: If you ram a candidate down our throats whom voters didn’t want to begin with, don’t be surprised when it backfires.
Darline was a horrible choice, and whoever was responsible for pushing her candidacy should be held accountable. It’s time for party leadership to start listening to the voters instead of ignoring us and making decisions based on what THEY want.
You work for the people, not the other way around. Stop treating voters like they’re obligated to fall in line simply because you have an “R” next to someone’s name.
We told you so and yet you called us crazy. Look who’s crazy now?
