Who is Darline Graham Nordone? Lindsey Graham's sister appointed to serve out his term in the Senate
Sen. Lindsey Graham's younger sister, Darline Graham Nordone, was appointed to serve the remainder of the late South Carolina Republican's term in the U.S. Senate, state officials announced Monday.
"Lindsey has always been there for me, and now I will be there for him," Nordone said during a press conference. "It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work."
Graham died Saturday at age 71 at his Washington, D.C., home after what his office described as a brief and sudden illness. Preliminary findings from the District of Columbia medical examiner determined the likely cause of death was an aortic dissection a tear to the body's main artery due to a heart condition.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster announced Nordone as Graham's temporary replacement at a press conference in Columbia, S.C., on Monday afternoon, hours after President Trump recommended that the governor pick her to fill the vacancy. She is expected to be sworn as an interim senator in Washington on Wednesday.
