Darline Graham在南卡罗来纳州的共和党集会上进行政治首秀，宣布参加该州参议院特殊初选[1]。这次初选定于2024年8月11日举行，旨在填补已故参议员Lindsey Graham留下的空缺[1]。格拉罕表示，"我今天来到这里是因为我在回应特朗普总统的召唤去服务"[1]，明确阐述了自己对特朗普议程的支持立场。
格拉罕是参加此次初选的9名共和党候选人之一[1]。根据非正式民调结果，她在候选人中领先，超过了Fry和Norman等对手[1]。如若无人在初选中获得多数支持，决选将于8月25日进行[1]。最终的共和党提名人将在大选中面对民主党候选人Annie Andrews[1]。
Darline Graham made her political debut at a Republican rally in Lexington, South Carolina, announcing her candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat and pledging support for President Trump's agenda [1]. "I'm here today because I'm answering President Trump's call to serve," Graham stated at the event [1].
Graham is one of nine Republican candidates competing in a special primary election scheduled for August 11, 2024, to fill the Senate seat left vacant by her brother, Lindsey Graham [1]. An informal poll conducted at the rally showed Graham leading the field ahead of candidates Fry and Norman [1]. If no candidate secures a majority in the August 11 primary, a runoff election will be held on August 25 [1]. The Republican nominee will face Democratic candidate Annie Andrews in the general election [1].
