据决策台总部（DDHQ）预测，共和党人韦斯·克莱默将接替南卡罗来纳州众议员拉尔夫·诺曼（R）在众议院的席位。
Republican Wes Climer is projected to succeed South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman (R) in the House, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
截至东部标准时间晚上9点29分，DDHQ已报告78%的总票数，克莱默以51%的得票率领先。
Climer was leading with 51 percent of the vote, with 78 percent of the total reported by DDHQ as of 9:29 p.m.
克莱默是一名州参议员，他击败了民主党候选人马洛里·迪特默，拿下这个铁红选区。诺曼今年夏天竞选州长和参议员均未成功。这位现任议员支持克莱默竞争棕榈树州北部的第5选区席位。
EST. Climer, a state senator, defeated Democrat Mallory Dittmer to clinch the ruby-red district. Norman unsuccessfully ran for both governor and Senate this summer. The incumbent backed Climer for the 5th District seat in the northern portion of the Palmetto State.
当选议员今年夏天提交了州参议员的辞职信，辞职生效日为选举日，当时选举预测机构将这场竞选评为对共和党“安全”。
The lawmaker-elect tendered his resignation from the state Senate — effective Election Day — this summer, as election forecasters rated the contest as “safe” for the GOP.
诺曼于2017年首次当选，时任总统特朗普提名时任众议员米克·穆尔瓦尼（R-S.C.）出任管理和预算办公室主任。他是强硬派众议院自由核心小组的成员。
Norman was first elected in 2017 after President Trump nominated then-Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) to lead the Office of Management and Budget. He is a member of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus.
诺曼在中期选举前夕因批评参议员达琳·格雷厄姆（R-S.C.）而登上新闻头条。
Norman made headlines in the lead-up to the midterms amid his criticism of Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.).
诺曼在参议院共和党特别初选中以大约5个百分点的差距输给了达琳·格雷厄姆，此前她的哥哥、已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（R-S.C.）今年夏天意外去世。
Norman lost to Darline Graham by about 5 percentage points in a special GOP primary for Senate after her brother, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), died unexpectedly over the summer.
这位众议院共和党人表示他将投票支持达琳·格雷厄姆，而不是民主党人安妮·安德鲁斯，但他说他的家人不太可能这样做。
The House Republican indicated he would vote for Darline Graham over Democrat Annie Andrews, but he said his family was unlikely to do the same.
