South Carolina Senate candidates pile in despite Trump endorsement
The Hill ^ | 7/21/26 | Sarah Fortinsky and Jared Gans

Posted on 07/21/2026 4:33:05 AM PDT by cotton1706

Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.). — who was appointed to fill the remaining few months of her brother’s term — announced Monday that she intends to throw her hat in the ring, as the one-week filing period for the Aug. 11 special primary election is set to begin today at noon.

“I’m in,” Darline Graham told Sean Hannity yesterday, in a preview of an interview that aired in full on Fox News’s “Hannity” later that night.

The LAST thing we need is another friggin Lisa Murkowski in the Senate, representing a solid Republican state?

Who's next?? John Thune's Democrat wife or daughter?

““I’m in,” Darline Graham told Sean Hannity yesterday”

Nice being able to change your last name at will. Reminds me of Hillary Rodman Clinton adding “Clinton” to her name when she caused her cuck to lose his first attempt at re-election, in Arkansas.

What information do you have that even suggests that she would be another Lis Murkowski?

Before passing judgement, let's see who she really is.

What do we know of Darline other than she is Lindsey Graham’s sister, who he helped raise?
Nice story but, how is this person wired???

Right? We didn’t actually like Lindsey that much. It’s not the flex she think it is.

Except she’s most likely now controlling the machine in SC that got her brother elected over and over. We’re better off if she would just go away.

She probably spearheaded the efforts to keep “Lindy’s secret” secret. My guess is behind the scenes she can be ruthless. Just a guess.

It’s called ignorance and there’s lots of it without her posting how she stands on the issues.

Between her online bio and Wikipedia… not seeing what I’d want to see of if I lived in SC.

A sociology major sister of Lindsey Graham. What are the odds she is conservative?

Trump done enough damage this midterm.
She is a amnesty lovin Dem voter just like Miss Linda was.
Letting radical dem judges getting the green light but
blocking conservative ones.

WE dont need any more of his terrible picks.

Ohio Gov office is lost thanks to Vivek the Indian H 1 visas lovin
job stealer who trashes white workers .
Great choice Trump.

In Fl , he endorsed a sleazy ugly black carpetbagger from Brooklyn Ny who is owned by the POT Industry that Donnie must be heavily invested in too.
The New Yorker refuses to DEBATE.
The pot pusher is a disaster only Trump could support. He is just like Vivek.

He will be crushed in the general in Fl.
The dem have nice stealth candidates.
No old ladies from Vero Beach are voting for that invader.
They moved to Fl to avoid that.
Thanks Donnie.

“What information do you have that even suggests that she would be another Lis Murkowski?”

Appointed Senator that you can’t remove once they’re in. She also just happens to be related to the Senator she’s replacing, similar to Frank Murkowski.

Other appointed Republican Senators that we can’t get rid of (unless they retire or die, since the GOP will get behind the originally appointed incumbent):

Roger Wicker (MS) - terrible voting record

John Barrasso (WY) - always at McConnell & Thune’s side

Cindy Hyde Smith (MS) - terrible voting record

Pete Ricketts (NE) - McConnell made sure that the conservative lost the governor’s primary so Ben Sasse could retire and appoint Ricketts

Tim Scott (SC) - dutifully endorsed Lisa Murkowski

And let’s not forget Luther Strange, Kelly Loeffler and Martha McSally.

The Establishment prefers APPOINTED Senators. I prefer ELECTED senators.

How exactly do you know it is ignorance? Surely you must have some examples that you can share.

I recall Lindsey calling to shoot Americans on Jan 6, redulting in the desth of Ashli Babbit. I think we’re done with the Grahams.

Good. I don’t want Lindsey’s sister. She’s unqualified and will feel pressure to support the same crap he did. We can do so much better.

Agreed. I like Jay Collins, he should be the next gov of FL.

,”Who she really is” is Lindsey Graham’s younger sister. That is sum total of her qualifications and accomplishments for the United States Senate

The comment:

“The LAST thing we need is another friggin Lisa Murkowski in the Senate, representing a solid Republican state?”

is made out of ignorance. Unless the comment made is an aspirational goal (”let’s make sure we don’t get another Lisa Murkowski”).

She has been awarded a huge advantage. We should have seen who she is before being awarded a position such as that.

Being Linda’s sister is not a good thing. Because he wasn’t.
