Within days, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, to fill the remainder of his term. Today, South Carolina Republicans cast ballots in a special primary to decide whether to nominate her. Darline Graham is running on little more than proximity to her late brother and Trump’s explicit backing. What troubles me about this dynamic is not that Darline Graham chose to serve. Darline Graham had the privilege of presiding over that eighty six to eleven vote—slamming down the gavel on her brother’s final legislative achievement.
