SC names Darline Graham Nordone to complete Lindsey Graham's Senate seat
Darline Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham’s sister, was sworn in to fill the remainder of his South Carolina Senate term, becoming the state’s first female senator. Nordone previously led the SC Commission for the Blind; Republicans aim to maintain their slim Senate majority, and she may retain some of her late brother’s committees. The swearing-in comes ahead of an Aug. 11 GOP primary to select the next Republican candidate for the seat.
