President Trump endorsed Darline Graham Nordone to run for South Carolina's Senate seat. Nordone, the sister of late Senator Lindsey Graham, currently holds the position following a gubernatorial appointment. But per Axios, Representatives Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman are still considering runs. Mace's advisors told Axios it would be political malpractice not to run, while Norman confirmed he's staying in the race. Other potential candidates include Representatives Russell Fry and Mark Sanford and Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, potentially setting up a crowded August primary.
