Following the death of long-serving U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed the late senator's sister, interim Senator Darline Graham, to fill the vacancy. Now running to complete the term, she faces Congressman Ralph Norman in a high-stakes Republican primary runoff. Former Congressman, former federal prosecutor, and host of The Trey Gowdy Podcast, Trey Gowdy joins the Rundown to discuss why major endorsements from President Donald Trump and Senator Tim Scott give Darline Graham a key advantage, how regional turnout between the Upstate and the Coast will shape the race, and what this competitive primary signals for South Carolina voters. Plus, a peek into his new book, "The Sound of Regret." Politics is becoming a major factor in the search for love, with dating app users increasingly looking for partners who share their political beliefs. New polling shows shared politics ranks above factors like religion, hobbies and looks for many singles, especially younger adults and women. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert joins the Rundown to break down his recent FOX News op-ed on why casting a vote isn't a proxy for character, and shares practical advice on how to stop vilifying the political aisle and reconnect on shared values, hobbies, and real-life compatibility. PLUS, commentary by Tevi Troy, senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and a former senior White House aide. PHOTO CREDIT: AP IMAGES Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike takes the show on the road to Rock Hill, South Carolina, for a special election-day broadcast focused on the razor-thin Senate race between Ralph Norman and Darlene Graham Nordone. He sits down with Norman to discuss the race, President Trump’s endorsement of his opponent, the candidates’ records, and the central questions surrounding national security, immigration, and the Trump agenda. Mike then talks with Trafalgar Group pollster Robert Cahaly about the extraordinary 47.9%–47.8% polling dead heat and what turnout in the Upstate, coastal counties, and among seniors could mean for the result. The conversation also examines election polling, the independence of polling firms, and why this South Carolina Senate contest has become such an unpredictable political showdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Barrett Gruber and Donald Brock reunite for an episode that starts with solar panels and ends with Mitch McConnell's health — and somehow everything in between makes perfect sense.The episode opens with a genuinely interesting personal story about Barrett's family building their own solar panel array to cut energy costs, which leads into a broader conversation about solar innovation, energy independence, and the rapid urbanization reshaping places like North Georgia. It's a grounded, relatable opening that sets the tone for a conversation that values real experience over political posturing.From there, the pair turn to the political earthquake that is the South Carolina Senate race following Lindsey Graham's passing. The field is crowded, the dynamics are complicated, and Barrett and Brock don't sugarcoat it — "it's a cluster." Darlene Graham, Lindsey's sister, is running for the seat, and the pair examine what that candidacy actually represents: as Barrett puts it, "a vote for her is a vote for the same politics." Mark Sanford emerges in the conversation as a potentially serious GOP primary contender, and the pair assess what his entry would mean for a race already full of fringe candidates pulling both parties in uncomfortable directions.The healthcare segment is one of the episode's sharpest — Barrett and Brock dig into the socialist elements already embedded in the American healthcare system that most people don't acknowledge, and what an honest conversation about healthcare reform would actually require. Mitch McConnell's health and the broader question of transparency in Congress close out the political discussion, before the episode wraps with the kind of light-hearted pop culture banter that keeps this show from taking itself too seriously.Brock also gets a moment — as a town councilman and coordinator for Soda City Comic Con, he brings a local community perspective that grounds the bigger political conversations in something real.Soda City Comic Con in Columbia, SCBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeSoda City Comic Con | FacebookClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.
