The 2020 presidential race is already pretty crowded. Now South Carolina’s U.S. Senate race next year is heating up, too.

Gloria Bromell Tinubu, a former Democratic candidate for Congress and lieutenant governor, will enter the race against U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-Seneca, on Tuesday. The Georgetown resident will formally kick off her campaign at a State House press conference on Wednesday.

She told The State she was inspired to run during a discussion with an African American history class at the College of Charleston.

“Much of it centered around work and race and how the people who contribute to the wealth are not able to benefit from the wealth they create,” Bromell Tinubu said. “That has an impact on college students who are working two jobs to afford school and be in debt by the time they finish.”

Bromell Tinubu’s entry into the race could set up a fight in the Democratic primary. Former S.C. Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison has also formed a committee exploring a possible challenge to Graham. He is expected to announce his candidacy soon.

Bromell Tinubu told The State her campaign will focus on rural areas that she says have been left behind in today’s economy.
