Darline Graham, the sister of the late South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, announced on Fox News that she will run for a full Senate term in South Carolina, after being appointed to serve the remainder of her brother’s term. She said she has reached an inner certainty and will proceed, despite acknowledging the pressure and the looming filing deadline. President Donald Trump has publicly urged her to run and weighed in on the race, adding to the heightened attention surrounding the decision. Graham would become the first woman to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate, with a special primary scheduled for August 11 to determine the next six-year term. She was appointed by Gov. Henry McMaster to serve through January 2027, and sources indicate multiple Republicans are eyeing the seat as the race develops.
