Harrison threatened to tank the debate, scheduled for 7 p.m. in Spartanburg, unless Graham takes another COVID-19 test.
Graham, citing advice from a physician who oversees members of Congress, says it’s unnecessary.
“Whether Mr. Harrison attends tomorrow’s debate is his decision, not mine. I will be there,” he said yesterday.

UPDATE: Media host WSPA-TV says on its website that tonight's debate has now become a "forum," with @LindseyGrahamSC & @harrisonjaime "taking part in individual interviews" from a moderator & panelists.
Graham's campaign says he's planning to speak to the media before his turn.

"We're disappointed that @LindseyGrahamSC has failed to take a simple coronavirus test but we appreciate our hosts were able to change the event format to make it safer for everyone," @harrisonjaime spox Guy King tells me, just now.
The pre-debate-debate is over. There will be no debate.
Instead, @LindseyGrahamSC and @harrisonjaime “will each take part in individual interviews.”
