Does Anybody Know Who Darline Graham Is?
Lindsey Graham’s younger sister, who was appointed to his South Carolina Senate seat upon his death, may soon be elected to a full term. Political insiders say she is a “black box.”
Darline Graham, the sister of late South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, recently announced her candidacy for the upcoming special election to replace her brother in the Senate. Graham is a professional advocate for the blind, with no prior legislative experience. She is set to become the first woman to hold this office, only the third person to do so since 1956.
Trump expressed his endorsement for Graham, calling her a "WINNER all of her life." South Carolina's Democrats and Republicans alike are unsure about her candidacy and her ability to effectively represent the state in the Senate. Graham has been a relatively quiet candidate, offering few details about her position on issues. Her brother, Lindsey, had been seeking a fifth term but will face a runoff against Graham on August 25th.
