Summary
Trump has a close friendship and working relationship with South Carolina Gov. Before Trump's announcement that he favors Darline Graham Nordone to serve her brother's term the rest of the year, Trump's advisers were sending signaling that Graham Nordone likely would be the pick. South Carolina will hold a GOP primary on Aug. 11 to pick a new Republican nominee for the Senate. Picking a "placeholder" like Graham's sister gives the governor and president time to decide whom to support during the primary election.
