Darline Graham Tests Value of a Famous Name Vs. Lack of Experience in South Carolina Primary
FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) — Few people have anything bad to say about Darline Graham, who was catapulted from obscurity last month when she was appointed to replace her late brother Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate.
Darline Graham's appointment to replace her late brother Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate has sparked debate among South Carolina voters. While few have negative comments about Graham, many are skeptical about her qualifications to serve as a senator. Like her late brother, Graham has been active in state government, serving in various roles and working with people with disabilities.
Despite her lack of visibility in South Carolina's political circles, Graham has received endorsements from President Donald Trump and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. However, she has been largely absent from campaigning, preferring to serve in Washington instead. Her main opponents include Republican Representatives Russell Fry and Ralph Norman, as well as former Governor Mark Sanford.
Graham's decision to stay in Washington to fulfill her duties has been praised by some, but criticized by others for her lack of experience and campaigning. In a recent debate, Graham indicated that she was learning a lot during her time in Washington but acknowledged her limited campaigning experience.
