Sure @harrisonjaime won on “tone” in this debate. But @LindseyGrahamSC brought a fierce defense of his record that inspires people of his politics to vote for him. He also brought up his own struggled upbringing. Which highlights something important about Harrison’s campaign.

Yes. Harrison has an inspiring story. And if you live in SC, you know his ads either 1) talk about that story or 2) talk about Graham’s hypocrisy

What his campaign is failing to do is focus and sell himself on any specific policies and issue solving platforms.

Graham was purposefully using a contrasting narrative on how they both came from rough situations and it’s not something unique to Harrison. He then slapped on top of that his conservative record and policy promises (for whatever those are worth) but it will work for his base.

I came out of this debate knowing more about Harrison’s extended family than any specific policy proposal he is uniquely championing. Imo, if the Harrison campaign expects to finish on top come November, he should rally up his policy messaging. #scpol #scsen #scsenatedebate
