Trump backs Lindsey Graham's sister in Senate special election

Per Axios, President Trump has endorsed Darline Graham Nordone, the sister of late Senator Lindsey Graham, in South Carolina's special election to fill his Senate seat. Nordone was sworn in this week to serve the remainder of her brother's current term but hasn't publicly confirmed whether she'll run—though Trump's backing will likely give her a major advantage in the Republican primary on August eleventh. The winner of November's general election will serve in the Senate until January two thousand thirty-three.
