Republicans in South Carolina spot a Moore loss silver lining
South Carolina GOP leaders Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham offered mixed reactions after Alabama's Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore.

The Alabama result, historic for choosing a Democrat to the U.S. Senate for the first time in 25 years, prompted Democratic South Carolina figures to tout Jones's message as a sign for future campaigns.
