Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., to run for a full term in the special election to fill her late brother’s Senate seat. The endorsement comes after Graham was appointed to temporarily hold the position previously occupied by her brother.
Trump publicly asked Graham to seek a full term and offered his backing, stating she should “honor the legacy of her beloved brother.” This move signals Trump's support for continuity in the seat formerly held by a close ally. No specific policy goals or campaign strategies were outlined in connection with the endorsement.
The appointment of Sen. Graham followed the death of her brother, former Senator Jim Graham, creating a vacancy that required a special election to determine who would serve the remainder of his term. Trump’s endorsement is intended to bolster Graham's position as she prepares to campaign for a full six-year term in the Senate.
No right-leaning outlets beyond the Washington Times reported on this story. Left-leaning sources and the Washington Times both report the same facts regarding Trump’s endorsement of Sen. Graham and her intention to run for a full term, with no significant divergence in reporting. The next step is for Sen. Graham to formally announce her candidacy and begin campaigning.
