Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham's sister, says she'll run for full Senate term
Trump’s endorsement and a crowded field have turned the temporary appointment into a competitive race for the seat, with filing opening Tuesday.
- Sen. Darline Graham announced she will run for her late brother Lindsey Graham's Senate seat this November, after being appointed last week to serve out the remainder of his term.
- South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham to serve until January 2027, though multiple influential South Carolina Republicans expressed surprise at her decision to seek a full term.
- After she and Lindsey Graham's parents died within 15 months of each other, she became orphaned at age 13 in 1976, leading Lindsey—a member of the Reserve Officers Training Corps—to become her legal guardian.
- Graham acknowledged the "tremendous amount of pressure" she felt after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social supporting her, confirming "I'm in" during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News.
- A special primary election will take place Aug. 11 to determine who will hold the seat for the upcoming six-year term, as Graham seeks to become the first woman to represent South Carolina in the Senate.
