Senator Darline Graham Nordone, appointed to fill the vacancy left by her brother’s passing, is facing a competitive Republican primary in South Carolina. President Trump has endorsed her candidacy for the special election set on August 11. Despite this high-profile endorsement, the primary field is crowded, with several prominent Republican figures vying for the nomination. The primary will determine who will complete the term of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away after securing a primary victory in June. The contest could lead to a runoff if no candidate secures over 50% of the vote.
