News on Monday that late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) sister, now Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC), will seek a full term in office after replacing her brother was not welcome by many conservative and MAGA influencers.
Nordone made the announcement in an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity.
“I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes, absolutely,” Nordone, who has never held elected office before, said about running.
“So you’re inclined to get in? Or have you even made a final decision?” Hannity followed up.
“I’ve made a decision — I’m in,” Nordone declared.
Nordone was appointed to the seat with the blessing of President Donald Trump, who urged South Carolina’s GOP governor to make the move. Many on the right, however, appeared unconvinced of her conservative bona fides.
“Hard pass. Birthright senatorship is idiotic,” reacted Sean Davis, the CEO of the Federalist, to the news.
Ex-Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) added, “Trump continues to fill the Swamp with the worst congressional creatures, including his predictable endorsement of Darline Graham. Are there worse criteria than 1) family name, and 2) pledged unconditional and unconstitutional allegiance and obedience to the president?”
Below are some additional reactions:
