As the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) likely would have said, the show must go on in the United States Senate, and that’s exactly what happened after the longtime senator died July 11. It wasn’t long before President Donald Trump suggested Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, 62, should take his place on an interim basis. You know, she’ll be the first woman to be a U.S. senator in South Carolina in the history of the state,” Hostin proclaimed. As for Darline Graham Nordone being a “DEI hire,” that was a rather interesting way to characterize it considering the practice of appointing a loved one — usually a spouse — after an elected official dies is not uncommon for Republicans and Democrats. Several candidates have declared their intentions to run in the nominee replacement primary (to be held on Aug. 11), including Darline Graham Nordone, who already has Trump’s endorsement.
