Graham Nordone, appointed by Gov. Henry McMaster, was thought to be a temporary replacement but confirmed her plans to run for a full term.

Originally a temporary fill-in giving Republicans a chance to sort out their options, Lindsey Graham’s sister seems to be making a power move.

President Donald Trump on Friday asked the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister, Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, to run for a full six-year term.

President Donald Trump recently encouraged Graham Nordone, who was sworn in last week, to run in the upcoming U.S. Senate special primary in South Carolina.
