Four Republican candidates participated in a debate on Tuesday night, marking the second night of back-to-back televised events for those seeking the party's nomination for a South Carolina Senate seat. The candidates involved in the Nexstar Media Group-hosted event included Representatives Russell Fry and Ralph Norman, former Representative Mark Sanford, and a local businessman.

The debate provided a platform for the candidates to distinguish their platforms and address voter concerns ahead of the upcoming primary. While the provided report focuses on the logistical fact that the debate occurred, it does not detail specific policy disagreements or the individual performances of the candidates. The candidates are competing for the spot on the November ballot previously associated with the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Because the source material provided is limited to an introductory summary, there is no information regarding specific points of contention or policy platforms discussed during the event. The candidates represent a mix of current legislative experience and private sector background, though the report does not elaborate on how their specific policy proposals differ.
