Democrat Republican from South Carolina Sen. Lindsay was preparing to replace Graham, who had a unique approach to emphasizing the coronavirus issue during his discussion on Saturday.
He wrapped himself in a plexxiglass.
Before state voters cast their ballots in November – candidate Jaime Harris defended himself at the debate stage using a transparent split as the two candidates met on stage at Allen University in Columbia.
Graham and Harrison spoke 13 feet apart after both candidates tested negative for the virus on Friday, according to the Associated Press.
But Harris said he used the partition anyway, telling reporters he wanted to take every precaution to protect himself and his loved ones.

“It’s not just about me, I also have to take care of the people in my life – my two boys, my wife, my grandmother,” Harrison, 44, said, according to the AP.

Harrison’s campaign claims that the use of the partition by Democrats is in line with the federal government’s recommendations that those who are in close contact with people infected with the virus should be isolated for 14 days.
Graham, 65, recently spent time with fellow Senate Republicans, some of whom confirmed last week that they had tested positive for the virus.
