Summary
Darline Graham said Donald Trump offered condolences and encouragement in an Oval Office meeting days after her brother Lindsey Graham's death and her appointment to his Senate seat.
Russia sanctions became a central topic in that conversation, with Graham saying she told Trump she wanted to push the measure across the finish line as part of her brother's priorities.
Trump later went beyond private support, publicly urging Graham to enter the upcoming special election and promising his "complete and total endorsement" if she ran.
A July 14 ceremonial swearing-in made her temporary appointment official, and she has now said she will seek a full Senate term while pledging to preserve Lindsey Graham's legacy.
