Darline Graham said she will seek a full Senate term after being appointed to finish her late brother Lindsey Graham’s term. Her entry adds another contender to a rushed Republican primary, which also includes Russell Fry and Ralph Norman.
Darline Graham announced her decision in an interview with Sean Hannity, saying she had made up her mind and felt she could handle the role. She was appointed last week to serve the remaining months of her late brother Lindsey Graham’s term, which ends in January. President Donald Trump endorsed her bid, and a filing period for the special Republican primary was set to open Tuesday ahead of an Aug. 11 primary.
Russell Fry said he would enter the primary, while Ralph Norman had already joined the contest. Nancy Mace announced she would not run, and Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette was considering a bid. The article also reports that Lindsey Graham’s campaign funds could not be transferred directly to Darline’s campaign beyond a limited amount, though a transfer to the National Republican Senatorial Committee could be used for coordinated spending, according to former Federal Election Commission chairman Bradley A. Smith.
