Lindsey Graham will attend Beaufort County GOP rally Sunday. Here’s how to see him

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham will visit Beaufort County to help rally voters for Republican candidates, a local GOP group says.

Graham will attend a rally at Beaufort County GOP headquarters Sunday, group spokeswoman Barbara Nielsen said. The event is scheduled from 3-5 p.m., with Graham expected to appear at about 3:45 p.m.

Nielsen called the event a “unity rally” for Republican candidates ahead of the the Nov. 3 election. And the event is also billed as a grand opening for the Republican group’s new space at 149 Riverwalk Boulevard in the Okatie area.

The public can attend the outdoor event. People are asked to wear masks and maintain safe distance from others.

Graham faces Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison in November. A recent poll showed the candidates are locked in a tight race.
