Backed by Trump, Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline will replace him in Senate

Darline Graham Nordone, sister of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, has been chosen by the state's governor to fill his Senate seat for the remainder of his term, which extends until early 2027. This move comes after Graham's unexpected departure, likely due to health issues. With strong backing from former President Trump, Nordone's appointment could have significant implications for the political landscape, particularly in conservative circles. The transition underscores the familial and political ties within the Republican Party and raises questions about the future direction of the party in the state.
