Lead: Washington — Sen. Darline Graham, who is serving out the remainder of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's term in the Senate, said Monday that she will seek a full term for the South Carolina seat her brother held for more than two decades.
Graham told Fox News: "I've made a decision" ... "I'm in."
"I have been praying a lot, talking to my family."
"I know I'm a hard worker. I learned that from Lindsey."
"I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely."
Her brother "died on July 11" and "had secured the GOP nomination in June for what would have been his fifth term."
Candidates "may file between July 21 and July 28," ahead of "an Aug. 11 primary to decide who will take on Democrat Annie Andrews in November."
"If no candidate secures a majority of the vote in the special primary election, a runoff will be held on Aug. 25."
