Trump says he has asked Lindsey Graham's sister to run for US Senate
Trump said Darline Graham would honor her brother’s legacy and pledged his complete and total endorsement if she enters the race.
- South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Darline Graham on Monday to serve the remainder of her brother's Senate term ending in January, with McMaster signaling the role was permanent rather than temporary.
- Sen. Lindsey Graham died Saturday at age 71 from an aortic dissection, a tear in the aorta, according to the Washington medical examiner; his sister had been a constant presence at his political events.
- Calling the appointment "such an honor," Darline Graham told supporters "Lindsey has always been there for me. And now, I will be there for him," while sources say she has begun conversations about running for a full term.
- 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.
