Graham’s Sister Steps In as SC Senate Vacancy Rises | Denver News

Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, has stepped in as his temporary Senate replacement following his sudden death, honoring their deep bond and his lifelong guardianship of her. With a special election looming next month to choose the Republican nominee for Graham’s seat, the race is already heating up — Lt. Governor Pamela Evette and Rep. Russell Fry among the frontrunners — as South Carolina’s GOP scrambles to maintain its stronghold. The filing deadline is July 21, with the primary on August 11 and a possible runoff on August 25, leaving just over two months to campaign before the November general election. Graham’s passing leaves a massive void in the Senate, reshaping the state’s political future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
