KEY POINTS

  • President Trump endorsed Darline Graham Nordone on July 14, 2026, to succeed her late brother Lindsey Graham.
  • Darline was sworn in this week to finish Lindsey Graham’s current Senate term ending January 3, 2027.
  • Trump urged Darline to run in the August 11, 2026, GOP primary, promising his 'Complete and Total Endorsement.'

In a plot twist that reads like a political sitcom, President Trump endorsed Darline Graham Nordone—yes, the sister of recently deceased Sen. Lindsey Graham—to run for his vacant Senate seat in South Carolina. The kicker? Darline hasn’t even confirmed if she’s running yet, but Trump’s Truth Social megaphone shouted encouragement to 'RUN, DARLINE, RUN!' The winner seals a Senate gig until January 2033, while Darline just got sworn in to serve out the term ending in 2027. Trump lavishly praised the 'absolutely incredible family' and declared she’d 'NEVER LET YOU DOWN,' ignoring minor details like actual candidacy announcements.
