Darline Graham Nordone (L), sister of Lindsey Graham, is embraced by her husband Larry Nordone after being ceremonially sworn in as a US Senator by Senator Charles Grassley (R), Republican from Iowa, in the Old Senate Chamber at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on July 14, 2026. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster on July 13 appointed the late Republican senator Lindsey Graham's younger sister to complete his term, hours after President Donald Trump publicly urged him to choose her. Darline Graham Nordone will serve in the US Senate until Graham's term expires in January, following his unexpected death at the weekend at the age of 71.
