SC's Graham, Harrison clash on criminal justice, health care

On the Friday night before Election Day, Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison met in South Carolina's capital city of Columbia for their second and final debate, clashing over issues related to criminal justice reform, health care and political sniping in a Senate matchup that has shattered fundraising records and commanded national attention. On criminal justice reform, Harrison called for more mental health counseling needed for crisis situations and chided Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, for not advancing Sen. Tim Scott’s “Justice Act” reform bill - legislation he said he applauded but, that he said, “doesn’t go far enough.” “If you’re serious about it, don’t just talk about it — act on it,” Harrison said of Graham's purported inaction.
