Trump said Darline Graham would honor her brother’s legacy and pledged his complete and total endorsement if she enters the race.

- Filing for the special primary opens July 21, with the election set for Aug. 11, as Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Reps. Russell Fry, Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman position themselves as potential challengers.
- Funeral arrangements announced Friday include a Washington memorial service on July 28 and South Carolina services on July 29, preceding the Aug. 11 primary that will determine whether Graham pursues a full Senate term.
