VIDEO: Trump Tells Supporters at Rally to 'Pretend' He's on the November Ballot

President Donald Trump told MAGA supporters at a rally in South Carolina on Friday night to “pretend” he is on the ballot in November. The remark was aimed at voters who believe Republican candidates perform better when Trump is listed as their choice. Trump urged the crowd to imagine that he is a candidate when they vote in the 2022 midterms, saying they should simply “come and vote” for Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC). Graham is running in a Republican runoff for a full six-year term after filling the seat vacated by her brother Lindsey Graham, who died July 11 from a heart condition. Trump did not mention her opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman, during nearly 90 minutes onstage. NBC News reported that six of Trump’s endorsed candidates failed to win their primaries, and that some supporters still had reservations about Graham after a debate where she struggled to answer a question on Taiwan and China. An hour later, Trump repeated the message near the end of his remarks.
