Graham’s Passing Shakes South Carolina Politics | Roanoke News
Description
Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly at 71, just days after celebrating his birthday and wrapping a high-profile trip to Turkey and Ukraine. His funeral drew national mourning, with top leaders honoring him as a dealmaker and maverick who shaped policy for over 30 years in Washington. His body was then returned to South Carolina, where a state funeral included a horse-drawn caisson and a flyover over the Statehouse — the place where his political journey began. With his seat now open, his sister Darline has been appointed to temporarily fill it and plans to run for the full term, setting the stage for a heated Republican primary in two weeks featuring former Governor Mark Sanford and other top contenders — a seismic shift for South Carolina politics.
