Who Will Fill Lindsey Graham's Seat? Trump Proposes Late Senator's Sister
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Donald Trump stated on Monday that he has recommended Darline Graham Nordone, the sister of Lindsey Graham, be appointed as his temporary replacement in the Senate. Trump posted on social media that Governor Henry McMaster should designate Nordone to complete the remainder of Graham's term, which ends in January. Graham passed away over the weekend at the age of 71, and McMaster is expected to name a replacement on Monday. After their parents died when they were young, Graham took on the responsibility of raising his sister, later becoming her legal guardian. They were very close, and she was by his side when he filed for re-election earlier this year, along with his children and grandchildren. A person familiar with the appointment process, but not authorized to speak publicly, indicated that the interim senator would be sworn in on Wednesday. Senator Tim Scott, who—according to that person—had spoken with Graham's sister several times since his death, planned to be present at McMaster's announcement.
