Jamie Harrison's campaign received a massive surge of donations following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Senator Lindsey Graham told Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt that he's"getting killed financially" in his South Carolina race against Democrat Jamie Harrison, who has raised considerably more money than him.
Harrison's fundraising efforts have been steadily and considerably greater than Graham's this election year. Last week, the Democrat's campaign raised over $1 million in 24 hours. The former state legislator also raised more in August alone than Graham's campaign did from March through July. Senator Lindsey Graham speaks during a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on August 5. Graham said this week he's"getting financially killed" after his election opponent received an onslaught of donations in the wake of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death.The South Carolina race has been largely fueled by out-of-state contributions, and Graham worries he will be outraised by Harrison.
Graham, who has held his seat since 2003, is facing a tight race this fall. The two candidates have been polling neck and neck. As of Tuesday, Graham was roughly tied with Harrison, 46 percent to 45 percent, but Harrison holds a 70-point lead among Black South Carolina voters, according to a Morning Consult poll.
