Darline Graham Nordone was appointed by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to finish her brother\u2019s term. On Monday, she announced she will run in the GOP special primary on Aug. 11 \u2014 and she says prayer is what got her there.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a shock because it had never entered my mind that I would be asked that question, so it took me a minute to process that. But like I said, it didn\u2019t take me long to realize that I felt this inner calling \u2013 it has to be God\u2019s plan, it has to be God\u2019s plan \u2013 that I had to carry on his legacy,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
Darline Graham also said she had been \u201cpraying a lot\u201d about how to navigate her new role. \u201cIt is a tremendous amount of pressure,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I\u2019m a hard worker. I learned that from Lindsey,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Sen. Graham served South Carolina in the U.S. Senate for more than two decades. He was known for his strong support of Israel, his pro-life convictions, and his work on national security. A preliminary medical examiner\u2019s report says he died from a tear in the aorta. Funeral services are planned for next week in Washington and South Carolina.\n<\/p>\n
Darline Graham Nordone has already been sworn in to serve the rest of her brother\u2019s term, which ends in January. President Donald Trump is backing her run, calling it his \u201cComplete and Total Endorsement\u201d and saying, \u201cRUN, DARLINE, RUN!\u201d She faces competition from Rep. Russell Fry and Rep. Ralph Norman, both South Carolina Republicans. Rep. Nancy Mace announced Monday she will not run.\n<\/p>\n
Darline Graham Nordone\u2019s story is a clear picture of someone who sought God before saying yes. That kind of faith-driven leadership matters \u2014 especially in a Senate seat known for defending Israel and the unborn.\n<\/p>\n
