华盛顿讯——特朗普总统周一建议南卡罗来纳州州长任命已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的妹妹达琳·格雷厄姆·诺多内，完成他在参议院的剩余任期。
“我已向州长亨利·麦克马斯特推荐，由林赛·格雷厄姆出色的妹妹达琳担任南卡罗来纳这个伟大州的临时参议员，”特朗普在Truth Social的帖子中说道。“这将是对林赛的绝佳致敬，他深爱着她！”
南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特定于周一下午4点召开新闻发布会，缅怀格雷厄姆的“一生与服务”，并宣布填补该空缺的任命。他的继任者至少将任职至明年1月，也就是他现任任期届满之时。
格雷厄姆终身未婚且无子女，与妹妹关系亲密。他们的母亲于1976年去世，当时格雷厄姆20岁，诺多内12岁。不到两年后，他们的父亲因心脏病去世。时年22岁的格雷厄姆收养了当时13岁的妹妹。
参议院来自南卡罗来纳州的同僚蒂姆·斯科特参议员周一早些时候在《CBS晨间新闻》中表示，格雷厄姆的妹妹“会是一位出色的临时接任者”。
这位已故参议员此前也一直在谋求11月的连任。一项旨在确定格雷厄姆继任者人选的特别选举将于8月11日举行。

Trump backs Lindsey Graham’s sister as his replacement to finish Senate term
July 13, 2026 / 11:37 AM EDT / CBS News
Washington — President Trump recommended on Monday that South Carolina’s governor appoint the late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to serve out the rest of his term in the Senate.
“I recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham’s wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!”
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is scheduled to hold a news conference at 4 p.m. on Monday to reflect on Graham’s “life and service” and announce an appointment to fill the vacancy. His replacement would serve at least until January, when his current term expires.
Graham, who never married and did not have children, had a close relationship with his sister. Their mother died in 1976, when Graham was 20 and Nordone was 12. Less than two years later, their father died of a heart attack. Graham, then 22, adopted his then-13-year-old sister.
Graham’s counterpart in the upper chamber, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, said on “CBS Mornings” earlier Monday that Graham’s sister “would be a wonderful placeholder.”
The late senator had also been seeking reelection in November. A special election to determine Graham’s replacement on the ballot will be held on Aug. 11.
