MUST-SEE: Val Demings Challenges Nikki Haley's "Red State" Claim in the Graham Senate Race

MUST-SEE: Val Demings Challenges Nikki Haley's "Red State" Claim in the Graham Senate Race Val Demings challenged Nikki Haley's "red state" argument on the Meet the Press roundtable about the South Carolina Senate race for Lindsey Graham's former seat. Haley said South Carolina wants to stay a red state and backed Sen. Darline Graham. Demings answered that voters in every party are worried about gas, grocery and health care costs, and said she expects Dr. Annie Andrews to be the next senator. In this video I break down both arguments and the context Haley left out. In August, she endorsed Rep. Ralph Norman, Graham's runoff opponent, and wrote that what Graham lacked on national security "is not something you inherit." We also look at the late-October New York Times/Siena and South Carolina Policy Council polls, Jaime Harrison's 2020 race against Lindsey Graham, and former Gov. David Beasley's endorsement of Andrews. Whose argument held up better, Haley's or Demings'?
