Lindsey Graham's sister chosen as replacement after senator's death

US Senator Lindsey Graham died from an aortic dissection on Saturday, prompting his sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to be named his temporary replacement by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster. Nordone, who was legally adopted by Graham after their parents' deaths, will serve the remainder of his term, which ends in 2027. The governor described her as Graham's 'darling little sister' who would 'finish his work for him now.' Graham, who was running for re-election, had no children and was closely tied to his sister throughout his life, including adopting her for military benefits. While several Republicans have announced intentions to run for his Senate seat, Nordone has not confirmed whether she will seek the full six-year term.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the event and background neutrally, focusing on factual information about Graham's death, the selection process, and Nordone's personal connection to Graham.
