Darline Graham split from Donald Trump over his decision to waive sanctions on Russia’s energy sector, a move that occurred after Graham had championed the Lindsey O.

In the race against Andrews, campaign finance reports showed Andrews raised $9.4 million in the third quarter, while Graham had just under $610,000 in campaign accounts.
