南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员拉尔夫·诺曼（Ralph Norman）周三表示，他会履行自己的承诺，在11月3日的选举中支持参议员达琳·格雷厄姆（Darline Graham），但他的家人不会这样做。
在接受《凯利·纳什全国新闻简报》（The National Briefing with Kelly Nash）的电台采访时，格雷厄姆在共和党初选中的对手重申了自己支持该州共和党候选人的立场。
诺曼说：“我会履行我个人的承诺；我的家人不会投票给达琳·格雷厄姆。
他们有自己的选择，可以按照自己的意愿投票。
不过我已经说得很清楚了。”
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said on Wednesday he’s keeping his promise to support Sen. Darline Graham at the ballot box on Nov. 3 but said his family will not.
当被问及是否会为格雷厄姆进行竞选宣传活动时，诺曼表示格雷厄姆的团队曾向他提出请求，但被他拒绝了。
“我不会与她一起参加任何竞选活动，这一点我已经说得很清楚了。
在认输比赛后，我给她打了电话表示祝贺，但那也是我们唯一一次交谈。”
《国会山报》（The Hill）已联系格雷厄姆的竞选团队寻求评论。
In a radio interview with “The Nashional Briefing with Kelly Nash,” Graham’s GOP primary opponent reiterated his commitment to supporting Republican candidates in the state.
特朗普总统计划于周三晚上在克莱姆森大学为格雷厄姆进行竞选宣传活动。
在8月份的认输演讲中，诺曼提到了特朗普对这场选举的干预，并表示自己“始终不明白”为什么特朗普和该州的共和党会介入来支持格雷厄姆。
在周三的电台采访中，诺曼再次批评共和党对其前对手的支持行为。
“I’m going to do what I said personally,” he said.
他说：“这不仅仅关乎拉尔夫·诺曼个人，更关乎这个州的未来；如果用金钱来影响选举结果，那么任何人都有可能当选——在我看来，达琳·格雷厄姆就是这样的例子。”
目前，格雷厄姆正与民主党候选人、儿科医生安妮·安德鲁斯（Annie Andrews）展开激烈的竞争。
无党派选举分析机构“库克政治报告”（Cook Political Report）周二将这场选举的预测结果从“共和党很可能获胜”调整为“共和党略占优势”。
诺曼说：“我的建议是：按照自己的良心去投票，让结果自然发生吧。”
“这场竞选本不该如此胶着，如果我参选的话，就不会这样。

“My family is not going to vote for Darline Graham. They’re just not. “Now, they’re grown and with their own children can do what they want, but I will because I promised to do that,” he continued. “But that’s about as clear as I can make it.” When pressed by Nash whether he would stump for Graham, Norman said the senator’s team already approached his chief of staff with a request, which was declined. “I would not do an event with her, and I made that pretty clear. When I conceded the race, I called her and congratulated her, but that’s the only time I’ve spoken with her.” The Hill has reached out to Graham’s campaign for comment. President Trump is set to campaign for Graham on Wednesday evening at Clemson University. In his August concession speech, Norman noted the president’s involvement in the race and said he “never understood” why Trump and the state Republican Party intervened to support Graham. During his Wednesday radio interview, Norman again reupped his criticism of the GOP’s support for his former opponent. “It’s more than about Ralph Norman,” he said. “It’s about the future of this state and how candidates, if you flood it with money, you can put anybody in, and that’s what’s happened with Darline Graham in my opinion.” Graham is engaged in a tight race against Democratic nominee and pediatrician Annie Andrews. The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, shifted its rating in this race from likely Republican to lean Republican on Tuesday. “My message is vote your conscience, and let the chips fall where they may,” Norman said. “This race shouldn’t even be close, and it wouldn’t be if I were in the race.”
