Darline Graham Nordone has been officially sworn in as the interim U.S. senator for South Carolina. This appointment follows the sudden death of her brother, Lindsey Graham. The ceremony was reported by Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram on America Reports.
Sean Hannity will conduct an exclusive interview with Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., during Monday night’s edition of Hannity at 9 PM ET on the Fox News Channel. This will be her first public interview since her brother’s passing and her subsequent appointment. She will discuss her commitment to continuing her brother’s public service legacy, reflecting on the values that defined their family and her intentions for serving South Carolina.
Darline Graham’s appointment marks a historical moment as she becomes South Carolina’s first female senator and the first sister of a lawmaker to be appointed to the Senate. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed her to complete the remainder of her brother’s term. Former President Donald Trump encouraged her nomination, and she received endorsements from Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who has supported her journey to the Senate.
After Lindsey Graham’s death, Gov. McMaster stated, “Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed. It’s my honor to ask his little sister, Darline Graham, to finish his work for him now.” Lindsey Graham passed away in Washington, D.C., on July 11 at the age of 71, shortly after returning from a visit to Kyiv, where he discussed new sanctions against Russia with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
A statement from Graham’s office reported preliminary findings from Washington D.C.’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, listing an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease as the preliminary cause of death. Further testing is ongoing for a final determination.
