Darline Graham, sister of late Sen. Lindsey Graham, sworn in as senator
Darline Graham Nordone, sister and adoptee of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, is appointed to serve out the remainder of his Senate term, with a primary election scheduled for Aug. 11.
- On Tuesday, Darline Graham Nordone was sworn in by the Senate to complete the term of her late brother, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, and will use the name Darline Graham in the chamber.
- Lindsey Graham became his sister's legal guardian when she was 13 years old, later adopting her to ensure she received military benefits; she called the appointment "an honor."
- South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham one day earlier; although she has never held elected office, the political newcomer is expected to be a reliable vote for the Republican majority.
- A special primary election will determine the Republican nominee for a full six-year term, who will face Democrat Annie Andrews in the general election; Graham's intentions to run remain unclear.
- President Donald Trump supported the appointment on Monday, calling it a "fabulous tribute" to the late senator, while Republicans considering a run for the seat include Rep. Ralph Norman.
