Tim Scott doesn't rule out Darline Graham running for her brother Lindsey's Senate seat: "Why not her?"

Key Points:

• Republican Sen. Tim Scott suggested Darline Graham, appointed as interim senator after her brother Lindsey Graham's death, could be a candidate for the full Senate term, praising her strong start and demeanor during a difficult time.
• The South Carolina GOP primary to replace Lindsey Graham is wide open, with several state House members and former members expressing interest, but no clear frontrunner has emerged; candidates have until July 28 to file.
• Former President Trump has not officially endorsed anyone but is reported to favor Rep. Russell Fry, who gained attention by defeating a Trump impeachment supporter and is praised by Trump as talented and outstanding.
• Other potential candidates include former Rep. Trey Gowdy, who has not declared, and Republican Reps. Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace, both considering runs, while Reps. Joe Wilson and William Timmons have ruled out candidacies to focus on maintaining the House majority.
• Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette is also being encouraged to run despite losing the recent gubernatorial primary, though some GOP insiders question her viability against Democrat Annie Andrews in the general election.
