President Trump announced on Friday that he met with newly-appointed Senator Darline Graham Nordone (R) in the Oval Office. Nordone is the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina. During the meeting, Trump asked her to run in the special Republican primary for a full term in the South Carolina Senate seat. The meeting underscores Trump's continued influence in Republican primary politics and his involvement in filling the vacancy left by Graham's passing. Nordone was recently appointed to the seat, and Trump's request signals a push for her to seek a full term in the upcoming election.
