2020 SC Senate race: on Budget & Economy


Lindsey Graham: Won't shut country down; getting back to business

Q: Should we ask teachers to return to face-to-face instruction without having access to widespread rapid testing?

Graham: I think we should allow our parents to make a decision about what's best for their children. And if a teacher doesn't want to go back to the classroom, I won't make them. But the one thing we're not going to do if I'm your Senator is shut the country down. We're going to open up safely. We're now getting back to business here in South Carolina.

Gloria Bromell Tinubu: Economic justice is the number one issue

"For me, it's not about how the economy is doing, I will ask voters, 'How is Your Economy Doing?'" provocatively says the former chair of Spelman College's Economics department. Popular political influencer Stacey Abrams was one of her former students. "For me, economic justice is the number one issue and economic freedom is the number one freedom," she said. "President Roosevelt said if don't have economic freedom, there's no real freedom. This is about freedom and justice for everyone."
