Darline Graham Nordone to fill brother Lindsey’s US Senate seat
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appoints Darline Graham Nordone to finish out the Senate term of her late brother, former Sen. Lindsey Graham
Assessment
A South Carolina governor has appointed a family member to complete a Senate term, placing Darline Graham Nordone in the seat held by her late brother. The appointment bypasses a special election, raising questions about how voters will respond to a dynastic succession. The move shifts the balance of the Senate seat's representation until the next scheduled election.
