Darline Graham Seeks to Carry On Her Brother's Legacy in a Turbulent SC Senate Primary

Darline Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham’s sister, is running to fill the late senator’s South Carolina seat with President Trump’s endorsement, amid skepticism about her outsider status and whether she’d be a caretaker. She competes against Ralph Norman, Russell Fry, and Mark Sanford in a GOP primary that could require a runoff on Aug. 25 if no candidate clears 50%.
