Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has died, prompting South Carolina to fill his U.S. Senate vacancy for the remainder of his term. Multiple outlets report that President Donald Trump recommends Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, for the interim appointment, which South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is expected to announce.

The coverage also describes how Nordone would advance from serving as a placeholder to seeking the party’s nomination in an upcoming special election. Politico and CBS News note that Republicans are already discussing other potential candidates for the special primary, while The New York Times and Politico frame Trump’s support as part of an effort to shape the electoral landscape.

Some outlets focus more directly on the political reaction to Nordone’s candidacy. The New York Post and Jerusalem Post describe her moving into a runoff in the GOP process and her vow to carry on her brother’s agenda. The New Republic, by contrast, emphasizes criticism from some conservative voices about a family-linked succession and Nordone’s lack of legislative experience, while also reporting that the special primary timeline will be tight.
