  Morning Digest: Trump’s picks come out on top in tight GOP runoffs Trump’s endorsement and heavy outside spending proves to be just enough in South Carolina and Oklahoma David Nir and Jeff Singer Aug 26 South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham. (Credit: Darline Graham Facebook) Leading Off SC-Sen, OK-Gov Both of Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates narrowly prevailed on Tuesday in their respective Republican primary runoffs.
