Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham's sister, says she will run for full Senate term

Summary by The Los Angeles Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by KABC, ABC7 Los Angeles (KABC) · July 21, 2026 · 1 min read

Darline Graham was appointed by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to finish the final few months of her brother's current term, which expires in January.

Why this matters in The Los Angeles

The news of Darline Graham's decision to run for a full Senate term may seem like a distant development to Los Angeles residents, but it holds significance for the local community. As a city with a large and diverse population, Los Angeles has a substantial number of residents with ties to South Carolina, whether through family, education, or business. The outcome of the Senate election in South Carolina could have implications for federal policies that affect Los Angeles, particularly in areas such as transportation, education, and healthcare. Additionally, the city's own senators will likely be watching the election closely, as the balance of power in the Senate could impact the ability of California's representatives to pass legislation that benefits the state and its cities, including Los Angeles. The election's result may also influence the city's relationships with other states and its ability to secure federal funding for local projects.
