- Darline Graham was lambasted by critics on Tuesday for telling a debate audience she was "not that informed on" national security when pressed on a core foreign-policy flashpoint.
- Greta Van Susteren, serving as debate moderator, asked Graham whether Taiwan and the South China Sea qualify as national security issues for the United States, prompting the senator's response.
Why it matters: For an elected state senator appearing on a debate stage, conceding ignorance on whether Taiwan and the South China Sea are U.S. national security priorities gives opponents an immediate, clip-ready line of attack heading into Election Day.
