Darline Graham, the sister of late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, is running for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina. Graham was appointed to replace her brother after his death and is now seeking to be elected to the seat.
Graham’s Campaign
Graham has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. However, she has been largely absent from the campaign trail, spending most of her time in Washington as an interim senator.
Some voters have expressed concerns about Graham’s lack of experience, but she has cited her state government experience and her time serving as interim senator as qualifications for the role.
Primary Election
Graham is facing a crowded field of contenders in the primary election, including Representatives Russell Fry and Ralph Norman, as well as former Gov. Mark Sanford. The primary election will be held on Tuesday, with a runoff possible on August 25.
