President Donald Trump is pushing for an unexpected replacement to fill the vacancy left by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., in the Senate.
Trump wants South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to tap Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to be appointed to the lawmaker’s suddenly open seat for the remainder of his term.
"I recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham’s wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina," Trump said on Truth Social on Monday. "This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!"

That is a really dumb idea.
They wanted to try this with Cindy McCain and AZ voters said Heck no.
Deep Dive Into Lindsay Graham

SPECIAL REPORT - Lindsey Graham w/ Stormy Patriot Joe
Lindsey Graham is dead at 71 following what was described as a brief and sudden illness—just days after returning from Ukraine.
Is she a pro-abortion liberal?
Is she a pro-abortion liberal?
Stupid question derserves being posted twice.
If it’s for the caretaker position AND if she promises to vote Trump’s way for the remaining five months, I’m cool with it. If it isn’t either of the above, no.
I agree. She should only be a care taker. The voters get to decide in November.
Basic Political Profile
Party Affiliation: Republican. She has been a registered Republican for decades and was actively involved in her brother’s campaigns.
Voting Record: She votes regularly in both primaries and general elections. As a South Carolina resident, she participates in the state’s closed Republican primary system.
Social Issues
Pro-Life: Yes. Like her brother Lindsey Graham, Darline is pro-life. She has publicly supported her brother’s strong pro-life positions over the years.
Writings & Public Presence
Books / Articles: She has not written any books or published notable articles. She maintains a very low public profile.
Social Media:
Facebook: Yes, she has a personal Facebook account, but it is private/low-activity. She occasionally posts family photos and supportive messages regarding her brother.
Twitter / X: No known public account.
Instagram: No known public account.
She is an unknown quantity.
There are plenty of qualified people with known voting records.
We have been trying to get rid of Linda for 10 years.
The Left has been working hard to keep him in.
Why?
ACB on the Supreme Court was also Pro-Life.
She has turned out to be a very unreliable justice.
More installed nepotism. Yuck.
A great “Screw Massie” choice
It’s temporary...till the end of his term. Better than appointing a House Member...
We keep saying that we need to get rid of recycled Party insiders that prop up the Swamp.
This is one way of doing that IMO...
Might be a crap idea in the end, but at least we aren’t replacing one swamp creature with another.
I still remember when Lindsey earned his “Grahamnesty” moniker and the times he went limp on us. I don’t like speaking ill of the dead that were nominally on our side of the Cultural divide... but I’m not going to be overly enthusiastic about singing his praises either.
Maybe Trump knows her as he was close with LG. McMaster may know her as well.
It doesn’t have to be a house member. No proof at all she won’t end up being installed for more than that.
Two very separate events.
What AI said your words?
nonsense!
Trump should endorse Ralph Norman.
