Summary
Darline Graham won the Republican Jewish Coalition’s endorsement for South Carolina’s special election, a key signal that pro-Israel conservatives believe she will preserve Lindsey Graham’s foreign-policy line.
The backing comes two days after Graham launched her campaign for a full six-year term and after President Donald Trump also endorsed her bid.
RJC leaders cast the move as a continuation of Lindsey Graham’s legacy, praising him as a leading Senate ally of Israel and saying they trust his sister to “carry the fight forward.”
That support arrives even as Darline Graham has left Republicans uncertain on several issues and suggested she may emphasize groceries, gas, health care and insurance more than her brother’s national-security focus.
The group will further tie itself to the family’s legacy next month by dedicating its Las Vegas leadership summit to Lindsey Graham and creating a first annual Lindsey Graham Statesman Award.
