President Donald Trump publicly urged Darline Graham, the sister of the late South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, to pursue a full six-year term in the Senate after she was sworn in Tuesday to temporarily fill her brother’s seat. Trump posted on Truth Social Friday that he asked her to run, offering his endorsement and calling her a lifelong winner from an outstanding family. Darline Graham lacks prior legislative experience, but her association with Trump reportedly makes her a stronger contender among several Republicans seeking the seat in a special election. She has not yet responded to requests for comment, though she is said to be considering a campaign.
