Why has Lindsey Graham’s sister inherited his Senate seat after his death?

Lindsey Graham, a prominent Republican Senator known for his hawkish foreign policy stance and strong support for Israel and President Trump, died suddenly. His sister, Darline Graham Nordone, was appointed to succeed him in the U.S. Senate at the recommendation of President Trump and confirmed by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster. The governor referred to her as 'the darling little sister' who would 'finish his work for him now.' Darline, who previously engaged in local government but lacks experience in elected office, has not indicated whether she plans to run for a full six-year term or serve temporarily until 2027. She expressed commitment to continuing her brother's legislative priorities.
