Darline Graham Eyes Senate Run to Succeed Brother

Darline Graham plans to run for a full term in the U.S. Senate, filling the seat left vacant by her late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham. A special primary election is set for August 11 in South Carolina, with a runoff on August 25 if needed. She faces potential rival Ralph Norman, with Democrats presenting Annie Andrews for the general election on November 3.

U.S. Senator Darline Graham announced on Monday her intention to run for a full Senate term, succeeding her brother, the late Lindsey Graham, who passed away this month after serving two decades in office.

President Donald Trump urged her to enter the race to secure the vacant U.S. Senate seat during a special Republican primary in South Carolina scheduled for August 11. She is currently filling the position until early January.

The state Republican Party will hold a special primary election followed by a runoff if no candidate obtains a majority, with Graham set to compete against Democrat Annie Andrews in the November 3 general election.
