South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham comfortably secured a fourth term in the Senate after defeating Jaime Harrison despite the Democrat’s huge influx of cash.
Mr Harrison had been polling unusually close to Mr Graham in the weeks leading up to election day. He also raised more than $57 million between July and September in his bid to unseat Mr Graham – the largest fundraising haul for any Senate race in US history.
But it was not enough to win over the solidly Republican state.
Mr Graham has served in Congress since 1995 and was widely considered to be an establishment centrist for much of his political career. But he veered sharply to the right since Mr Trump entered the White House.
Since then, he has rarely disagreed with the president, except over certain national security issues.
Mr Graham joined seven other senators in 2013 to write a major bipartisan immigration reform bill, and attacked Mr Trump as “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot” over his 2015 proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the US.
He eventually lined up behind Mr Trump’s efforts to build a wall on the US-Mexico border and the White House’s travel ban against several Muslim-majority countries in 2017.
And last month, he helped usher Justice Amy Coney Barrett – Mr Trump’s third Supreme Court appointee – through her confirmation process, securing conservative control over the body.
Mr Graham also chairs the Senate’s foreign aid spending panel, which appropriates international assistance to various countries throughout the world.

Four motivational quotes from Alicia's Dubai talk
“The only thing we need is to know that we have faith. Faith and hope in our own dreams. The belief that, when we keep going we’re going to find our way. That’s all we got.”
“Sometimes we try so hard to keep things inside. We try so hard to pretend it’s not really bothering us. In some ways, that hurts us more. You don’t realise how dishonest you are with yourself sometimes, but I realised that if I spoke it, I could let it go.”
“One good thing is to know you’re not the only one going through it. You’re not the only one trying to find your way, trying to find yourself, trying to find amazing energy, trying to find a light. Show all of yourself. Show every nuance. All of your magic. All of your colours. Be true to that. You can be unafraid.”
“It’s time to stop holding back. It’s time to do it on your terms. It’s time to shine in the most unbelievable way. It’s time to let go of negativity and find your tribe, find those people that lift you up, because everybody else is just in your way.”

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
