## Resource

South Carolina’s governor has tapped Darline Graham Nordone—Senator Lindsey Graham’s sister and longtime supporter—to temporarily fill his Senate seat following his sudden passing at 71. Appointed to serve until January, Nordone, who was raised by her brother after their parents died, will be sworn in this Wednesday. She vows to carry on his legacy while a special election on August 11 will determine the next full-term senator, with the winner taking office in November.
