Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC), appointed to fill the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's seat, announced she will run for a full six-year term in the U.S. Senate. Her decision follows endorsements from former President Donald Trump and a commitment to focus on domestic issues over foreign policy, diverging from her brother's legacy. The special Republican primary is set for August 11, with other candidates including Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry. Graham Nordone, who has worked in state disability services, emphasized her connection to South Carolina and her brother's values in her announcement. The general election will take place on November 3, with Democrat Annie Andrews as the likely opponent.
