U.S. Sen. Darline Graham was appointed to fill her brother’s vacant seat and has President Donald Trump’s endorsement in the special primary. Among those challenging her are congressmen Russell Fry and Ralph Norman, former Gov. Mark Sanford and business owner Mark Lynch, who ran against Lindsey Graham in the June 9 primary.

The late Sen. Lindsey Graham is honored Tuesday in Washington as his remains arrive at the U.S. Capitol before a funeral at Washington National Cathedral.

Democrats have selected South Carolina to hold the first presidential nominating contest in 2028. The decision Friday most likely cements a Democratic primary calendar that moves away from Iowa and New Hampshire in favor of more racially diverse states.

President Donald Trump says Darline Graham, the sister of the late Lindsey Graham, has his support to run for a full term to replace her brother in the U.S. Senate. Lindsey Graham's funeral services will include services in Washington on July 28 and in South Carolina on July 29.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the cars were made with a certification label that incorrectly states their gross axle weight rating. The regulator warns this could lead to overloaded vehicles and increase crash risks.

The sister of the late South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has been sworn in to fill his seat, just three days after his death. Darline Graham was sworn in at the Senate on Tuesday.

The Medical Examiner of the District of Columbia’s preliminary findings are Graham died of aortic dissection.

Lindsey Graham was the garrulous son of South Carolina pool hall owners and he rose to become a prominent senator and fixture on the global stage. The high-energy Republican lawmaker was known for his Southern drawl, political flexibility and reliably hawkish stance on foreign policy.

Lindsey Graham's relationship with Donald Trump was a roller coaster. After the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, the Republican senator from South Carolina said he was done with Trump. But that didn't last long. Graham's journey with Trump was marked by dramatic shifts, from fierce critic to close ally.
