Episode Details

In this segment of the Charlie James Show, host Charlie James provides updates on the upcoming funeral and memorial arrangements for the late Lindsey Graham, noting scheduled services in Washington, D.C., Columbia, and Pickens. The conversation quickly shifts to political rumors surrounding Graham’s sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, who was recently appointed to fill the vacant Senate seat. Charlie expresses frustration over rumors that Nordone intends to run in the upcoming primary, pointing out that her appointment under "widow's succession" was widely understood to be an interim position to allow for a clean primary without an incumbent advantage. He heavily criticizes Senator Tim Scott for publicly praising Nordone's "remarkable start" after less than two days in office. After taking a call from a listener named Billy who voices support for Nordone, Charlie concludes that breaking the agreement not to run would officially make her a politician.
