(3,380 posts)I'm not a Republican and I don't think like a Repubican but I would have guessed there would be calls for Nikki Haley.
But sure, he can go with Graham's sister.
I also don't know much about her except that Graham is said to have raised his sister. His sister was still young when their parents died.

(20,160 posts)(Newsweek) ''Trump Backs Lindsey Grahams Sister Darline Graham Nordone for Senate Seat...Who is Darline Graham Nordone? Lindsey Graham Survived by Sister'
"Their lives changed dramatically when their mother died of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1976, the Post and Courier reported. About 15 months later, their father died of a heart attack, leaving Graham, then a college student in his early 20s, responsible for his teenage sister."
"According to the Post and Courier, Graham later adopted Nordone after joining the Air Force so she could receive military benefits. He became her legal guardian and helped raise her into adulthood."

Isn't adopting your sister so she can receive military benefits sort of illegal?

Wiz Imp
(11,069 posts)Nothing to suggest she is remotely qualified or even interested. Probably safe to assume Trump thinks she would do exactly what he wants her to do which is why he floated her name.
Her involvement has primarily been supportive rather than political, making Trumps recommendation particularly notable because it would place a private citizen into a temporary Senate role.
