SC-SEN: Former South Carolina lieutenant governor suspends Senate campaign against Graham
Former South Carolina Lt. Gov. André Bauer (R) is suspending his Senate campaign that sought to primary Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), saying he doesn’t want to further contribute to division in the country.
Bauer, in a Friday post on the social platform X, said he didn’t make the decision lightly and entered the race with a goal of serving, believing the country needs leaders “grounded in truth, integrity, and faith.”
“But I believe now, more than ever, that in order for us to truly move forward, we must stop tearing one another down with lies and division,” he continued. “I cannot and will not be part of a political climate that rewards deception over honesty, or ambition over unity. God calls us to walk in truth, to speak life, and to be peacemakers—not power seekers.”
Bauer said winning won’t come through slander but through unity, humility and a “shared desire to honor God and serve one another.”
