In Hour 1 of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James covers the chaotic setup of South Carolina's U.S. Senate special primary. He highlights key election dates and details a major legal update: a state judge issuing a temporary restraining order to keep candidate Danny Lee Ford II on the primary ballot following his disqualification under SCGOP voting rules. James walks through the crowded 12-candidate field, questioning voter familiarity, upcoming debate logistics, and candidate qualification rules. He also calls out former Republican State Senator Katrina Shealy for introducing Democrat gubernatorial candidate Germaine Johnson, noting that candidate Darlene Graham's sole recorded political donation went to Shealy. Concluding the hour, James fields caller questions on candidate naming rules and echoes critiques of the SCGOP and national Republican leadership, arguing they lack aggressive "Get Out the Vote" strategy and seem more comfortable in the minority than actively passing legislation.

Charlie James reviews the crowded field of candidates for South Carolina's U.S. Senate special primary, responding to listener texts about lesser-known contenders and candidate viability. He focuses heavily on state political developments, highlighting an event at the State House where pro-abortion former Republican State Senator Katrina Shealy introduced Democrat gubernatorial candidate Germaine Johnson as "our Democrat candidate."

The segment concludes with a call from listener Bill discussing potential candidate debates and James reacting to upcoming Trafalgar Group polling numbers.

James examines the political maneuvering surrounding Graham's candidacy, questioning her close ties to Katrina Shealy and discussing how party leadership navigated placeholder expectations. Caller Tom in Union County asks about Russell Fry simultaneously running for Congress and Senate, leading James to reflect on the likelihood of a special election if Fry wins the Senate seat. Finally, James takes a fun turn to give golf advice to a caller asking how to fix a severe drive slice.

In Hour 3 Segment 1, Charlie James takes a call from Gerald in Cowpens, who suggests voters are drawn to candidate Darlene Graham out of sympathy for the loss of her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, and the desire to carry on the family name. James agrees, noting that being a grieving sister and potentially South Carolina's first elected female U.S. Senator are strong appeals. He reviews the latest Trafalgar Group poll numbers for the U.S. Senate special primary, which show Darlene Graham leading at 27%, followed by Ralph Norman and Russell Fry tied at 17.4%, Mark Sanford at 15.1%, and Mark Lynch at 8.1%.
