FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) — Few people have anything bad to say about Darline Graham, who was catapulted from obscurity last month when she was appointed to replace her late brother Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate.
It’s a common sentiment among Republican voters pondering an unexpected decision about replacing Lindsey Graham, who was nominated for a fifth term before he died from a tear in his aorta.
Darline Graham was often by his side throughout his career, but she remains largely unknown in South Carolina’s clubby political circles.
However, Graham has been largely absent from the campaign trail, spending most of her time in Washington as an interim senator.
While Lindsey Graham was single and well known around the world, his sister lived a relatively quiet life with her husband and daughters in Lexington, South Carolina.
