Trump backs Darline Graham in SC Senate bid
TL;DR
President Donald Trump endorsed Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham’s sister, for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat, urging her to run in the Aug. 11 Republican primary. Graham has not confirmed a candidacy, but Trump’s backing could position her as a front-runner if she enters the race, which is expected to attract a crowded field that could include Reps. Russell Fry, Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, plus Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette. Trump had previously supported her appointment to temporarily fill Lindsey Graham’s seat after his death.
