Rep. Nancy Mace questions the qualifications of Darline Graham as she enters the South Carolina Senate race.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., has expressed skepticism regarding whether Darline Graham is sufficiently qualified to run for a full-term Senate seat in South Carolina. While the administration announced the appointment of Darline Graham to fill the vacancy left by her late brother, Lindsey Graham, Mace noted that the newcomer has a thin political record. Mace highlighted that Darline Graham may not have met the specific state requirements to appear on the ballot, such as voting in enough recent Republican primaries. Despite these concerns, the administration's preferred candidate has secured the endorsement of President Trump. In response to the uncertainty surrounding Darline Graham, Mace has endorsed Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., describing him as a "tried-and-true conservative." Darline Graham, who is making history as the first person to directly succeed a sibling in the Senate, plans to campaign on domestic issues like gas and grocery prices. She aims to maintain her brother's conservative legacy while seeking a full six-year term in the November general election.
