Darline Graham has declared her intention to run for a full term in the U.S. Senate, seeking to fill the seat recently vacated by her brother, Lindsey Graham. Her brother served two decades in the Senate before his death.

Graham shared her decision in an interview with Fox News' 'Hannity,' stating, "I have been praying a lot, talking to my family ... I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely." This reflects a personal conviction and acknowledgment of the significant challenge ahead.

Her announcement follows a request from U.S. President Donald Trump for her to run in a special Republican primary in South Carolina scheduled for August 11. Graham had previously been appointed to fill her brother's vacant seat until January. U.S. Representative Ralph Norman has also announced his intention to seek the Senate seat, setting up a potential contest.

This is a developing story.

I have been praying a lot, talking to my family ... I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely.
