Sen. Darline Graham announces she’s running for a full term in her late brother Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat.
Sen. Darline Graham said Monday she’s running for a full term to replace her late brother Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat.
“I’ve made a decision,” Darline Graham told Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, according to a clip released of an interview set to air later Monday. “I’m in.”
The entrance of Darline Graham — sworn in last week to fulfill the remaining months of her late brother’s term, which expires in January — into the Republican scramble to select a new Senate nominee further complicates an already rushed process following Lindsey Graham ‘s death earlier this month.
A weeklong filing period opens Tuesday for the special Republican primary, which will be Aug. 11. On Friday, President Donald Trump said that Darline Graham had his “Complete and Total Endorsement” to seek the nomination, adding, “RUN, DARLINE, RUN!”
Why is nepotism how the replacement gets decided? That’s an elected position, wtf is wrong with people if they can’t see that as a bad idea that should not be in use.
Why are people so allergic to voting for fucks sake
Oh, if only the sister were just a temporary appointment until January and the special election were to redo the Republican primary and re-select the Republican nominee who will run against the Democrat in the regular November midterms, like Lindsey Graham was supposed to do except he died and the Republicans are not quite to the Jeremy Bentham stage of leadership (yet).
Oh, if only. But no. They’re just so allergic to voting for fucks sake. Not gonna have a special election for the Republican primary, nor an election in November at all. Sent the Democrat primary winner home, consolation prize canned ham and all.
Looks like South Carolina’s got another six-plus years of Lindsey Graham, this time in skirts and lipstick just as God intended.
