Summary
The late senator became his sister's legal guardian when she was 13, after their parents died in short succession when Graham was in his early twenties. Darline Graham, who has had a career in disabilities services and most recently served as commissioner of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind, doesn't have a background in elected office. During an emotional news conference announcing her appointment, McMaster said "Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed," calling it an "honor to ask his little sister Darline Graham to finish his work for him now." Darline Graham, 62, called it "such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work," while pledging to "work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States." "Lindsey has always been there for me," she said.
Furthermore, Graham, who died late Saturday at 71, was not married and did not have a family of his own. Because the four-term senator had been seeking reelection, South Carolina will hold a special primary election on Aug. Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., was sworn in Tuesday afternoon to fill the seat of her older brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, three days after he died unexpectedly.
