What to know
* South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Darline Graham Nordone to the Senate.
* She will serve the remaining five months of her brother Lindsey Graham's term.
* She expressed a commitment to continue her brother's work for South Carolina.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed the sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham to temporarily take his Senate seat following his sudden death last weekend.

Darline Graham Nordone will be sworn into the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, where she’ll serve in the Republican majority for the remaining five months of Mr. Graham’s fourth Senate term.

“Lindsey has always been there for me, and now I will be there for him,” Ms. Nordone said during a press conference at the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia. “It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States.”

She said that she missed Mr. Graham “more than I can even put into words,” and added, “but I’m going to do this. I’ve got it.”

Ms. Nordone’s selection was considered a remote possibility, but by midafternoon Monday, it became more of a certainty after President Trump made the recommendation on his Truth Social account at about 11:30 a.m. The idea quickly won the approval of South Carolina’s other Republican U.S. senator, Tim Scott, as well as Senate Majority Leader John Thune, South Dakota Republican.

“Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, would be a fantastic pick to serve out the remainder of the Senate term.” Mr. Scott said. “After speaking with Darline, there is no one better who understands Lindsey’s love for family, our state, and our country.”

Mr. Trump called Ms. Nordone “wonderful” and said her appointment to the seat “Would be a wonderful tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!”

Mr. Graham, 71, died on Saturday night after emergency workers were dispatched to his Capitol Hill home. The D.C. Medical Examiner’s office issued a preliminary finding of “aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.”
