Daily Beast: “When Harrison decided last year to mount what seemed like an improbable challenge, he bet that he could convince voters that Graham had changed in important ways—that his allegiance to Donald Trump eroded the integrity he once was respected for in Washington as well as back home. But he also bet that the state itself had changed over Graham’s three decades on Capitol Hill, and has left him behind. So Harrison, a South Carolina native and savvy Democratic political hand, set out to build an operation meant to turn out every single Democrat—overwhelmingly the party of Black voters here—and introduce himself to every independent and Republican, too.”
“Many months, and over $108 million raised, later, you can’t turn on a TV, watch a YouTube video, listen to the radio, or drive down a highway in the state of South Carolina without seeing Harrison’s name and face. A race that was once seen as uncompetitive is now regarded as a toss-up. In a matter of hours, Democrats will find out if the gambit worked. ‘We executed our strategy to the best of our abilities,’ Harrison told The Daily Beast in an interview after addressing voters in North Charleston, saying that his campaign brought presidential-level campaign organizing to a state that had never seen anyone but a presidential candidate achieve it.”
