• Darline Graham Secures GOP Nomination for Her Late Brother’s Senate Seat

Defeating Rep. Ralph Norman. Graham will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November. The Hill: Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.) is projected to win the South Carolina Republican primary runoff to replace her brother, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), on the November ballot, according to Decision Desk HQ. Lindsey Graham, 71, died unexpectedly in early July after serving in the Senate for more than two decades — and after winning an initial June primary for renomination to the red state seat. Darline Graham, 62, was appointed by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) to fill the vacancy, and she’s now running for a full Senate term with support from President Trump. Darline Graham on Tuesday defeated Rep. Ralph Norman (S.C.) after the pair were the top two vote-getters in a crowded initial primary field, including former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, businessman Mark Lynch and Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman. Neither notched enough to win the Aug. 11 primary outright, forcing the race into a runoff.
