Sister Steps Into Brother’s Senate Seat | Global News

Darline Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham’s sister and longtime loyal supporter, is stepping into his U.S. Senate seat as his temporary replacement—appointed by Governor Henry McMaster to serve until January. Though this is her first time in public office, she’s been a constant presence in her brother’s life, appearing in speeches and campaign ads. Their bond runs deep: after their parents died within months of each other, then-22-year-old Lindsey became her guardian and later adopted her to secure her military benefits. Lindsey, who never married or had children, often called Darline his greatest achievement and even joked she might be his stand-in First Lady. President Trump endorsed her appointment as a heartfelt tribute to Lindsey’s deep love for his sister. A special primary election next month will determine who fills the seat permanently.
