Harrison calls on Graham to take a COVID-19 test before debate

South Carolina Senate candidate Jaime Harrison called on Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to take a COVID-19 test before their debate on Friday. Harrison, the Democratic candidate, tweeted on Thursday that he and the debate moderators committed to taking a coronavirus test before the debate, adding that his test is scheduled.

“The debate moderators and I have agreed to take a COVID test prior to debating,” he posted. “I've scheduled my test, and I am calling on Sen. Graham to do the same.”

A spokesperson for Graham did not immediately return a request for comment.

Graham said he was tested last week after hearing that Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, tested positive for the virus. Graham, who is the chairman of the committee, reported testing negative.
