In a notable bipartisan move ahead of the US midterm elections, former Republican governor David Beasley and former Democratic governor Jim Hodges have joined forces to endorse Democrat Annie Andrews in her bid for a South Carolina US Senate seat.
The joint endorsement targets the Senate seat currently held by Darline Graham, the sister of senator Lindsey Graham, who enters the race with Donald Trump's backing. Andrews is running in an effort to flip the seat for Democrats.
The rare cross-party backing highlights the high-stakes political battles shaping the midterm cycle as candidates campaign across the country.
