...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.Democratic South Carolina Senate nominee Jaime Harrison on Wednesday slammed Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-S.C.) decision to pull out of debate scheduled for Wednesday.
“This is probably the most historic Senate race in the history of this state, and to have Sen. Graham ducking and dodging [the debate] is really sad, but it's a testament to who he is,” Harrison said on SiriusXM’s “The Laura Coates Show.” “He believes that he represents the interest in Washington, D.C., instead of representing the interests of the people in South Carolina. And that's why he's on the verge of getting that one-way ticket back home.”
In a statement provided to WYFF, Graham’s campaign said the debate would need to be postponed due to Senate votes scheduled in Washington, including the vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

This would have been the second time the two candidates debated. A previous debate was canceled after Graham's and Harrison’s teams disagreed over a requirement to take a COVID-19 test beforehand. Harrison said he would not participate in the debate without a negative COVID-19 test from his opponent, which Graham declined to provide.

On Tuesday, former President Obama released an ad urging South Carolinians to vote for Harrison.
“Hey, South Carolina. If you want a senator who will fight for criminal justice reform, lower college costs and make health care affordable, you’ve got to vote for my friend Jaime Harrison,” he said.
