Trump Endorses Darline Graham Nordone for Senate Run Following Appointment

President Donald Trump has endorsed Darline Graham Nordone, the newly appointed senator from South Carolina, encouraging her to run in the upcoming special Republican primary. This endorsement was made in a Truth Social post following her appointment by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster to fill the vacancy left by her brother, the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Graham Nordone will serve until the new Congress convenes in January, while the special primary is scheduled for August 11. Trump described her as a 'spectacular person' and expressed hope that she would run to honor her brother's legacy. Reports indicate that she has shown interest in pursuing a full term in the Senate. The filing period for the special primary runs from July 21 to July 28, with several other politicians also considering a run.
