The Weight of Legacy in South Carolina's Senate Seat The recent special Republican primary election in South Carolina has left us with a runoff between Darline Graham, Senator Lindsey Graham's sister, and Ralph Norman, a veteran congressman.
Both candidates are vying for the right to replace Lindsey Graham on the ticket in November, but the real story here is not about individual merits, but rather the weight of legacy that comes with running as his sister.
After Lindsey Graham's sudden death, Darline Graham was appointed by Governor Henry McMaster to serve out her brother's term.
