Summary
Darline Graham Nordone emerged as the leading pick to fill Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat after winning support from President Donald Trump and Sen. Tim Scott.
The push centers on naming an interim replacement to serve out the remainder of Graham’s term, which was set to expire in January.
Nordone enters the process with little public political record beyond praising her late brother, leaving her views largely undefined despite backing from top Republicans.
Gov. Henry McMaster is responsible for the appointment under South Carolina law, with a special primary in August ahead of the November election.
