Graham’s Vacancy Shakes South Carolina Senate | US News
Description
Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden passing has thrown South Carolina’s Senate race into chaos, with Governor Henry McMaster poised to appoint a Republican to fill the seat temporarily—keeping the GOP’s slim majority intact. Richard Perry, Graham’s longtime chief of staff, is widely seen as the frontrunner. This marks the first time a South Carolina senator has died in office since 1963, reigniting historical precedents and triggering a special election process that could reshape the race. With Graham’s seat now vacant and his former rival, Democrat Annie Andrews, still in the running, the spotlight is now squarely on who will step into the void—and who will ultimately claim the seat.
