SC appoints Lindsey Graham’s sister to finish his Senate term, making history as the state’s first woman in the Senate

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed Darline Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham’s younger sister, to fill the remainder of his Senate term after his death, a caretaker move rooted in the tradition of family appointments. Nordone—who had not held public office before—previously led the state’s Commission for the Blind and will be sworn in amid a crowded legislative agenda, becoming the first woman to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate.
