Who Should Replace Lindsey Graham? Trump Has An Idea. [subhead: (Nepotism. The idea is nepotism.)]
President Donald Trump has endorsed Darline Graham Nordone, the sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), as a candidate to fill his vacant U.S. Senate seat.
"This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!" [Trump said, on his endorsement.]
Several other candidates are pursuing the seat, including Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, U.S. Reps. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman.
