President Trump has backed Darline Graham Nordone for South Carolina's U.S. Senate seat — she's the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham and currently holds the position after a gubernatorial appointment. Axios reports, though, that House Representatives Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman are still considering bids despite Trump's backing, with one source calling it 'political malpractice not to.' Such a race could spark a contested August eleventh special primary to determine the Republican nominee.
