Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Republican candidates took turns addressing the crowd, each given six minutes to make their case. They spoke about familiar topics, from the war with Iran to the national debt. Some, like Darline Graham, emphasized their experience and Trump endorsement, while others, like Mark Sanford, focused on the need for change. The event was a chance for the candidates to make their closing arguments to voters before the special Republican Senate primary on August 11.
One observation: the candidates’ speeches seemed to follow a familiar script, with each one trying to outdo the others in their conservative credentials.
