Democrats notched an upset victory in South Carolina’s Senate race, NBC News projects, with Annie Andrews toppling Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who was appointed this year to succeed her late brother, longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Andrews, a pediatrician, will be the state’s first Democratic senator in more than 20 years. Donald Trump carried South Carolina by more than 17 percentage points two years ago.

        I lived in Durham from 1998 to 2005. That whole RTP area was a great place to live. Durham Bulls games. Almost always some decent live music somewhere nearby.

      I am feeling the utmost excitement for Kansas right now. What a wonderful night.

        And then there is Ala-fucking-bama, electing as governor one of the few people in the world dumber than Trump. Alabama never fails to disappoint.

        I haven’t been following that but it would be great if the GOP loses both the Senate seat and the governor’s race in Kansas.

        It is pretty amazing that all the statewide elections in Georgia all went blue. Going to be grid lock there since the GA House is solidly GOP.
