South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) on Monday appointed Graham Nordone to serve the final six months of her brother\u2019s term. President Donald Trump had also endorsed the idea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States,\u201d Graham Nordone said Monday<\/a>.<\/p>

Graham Nordone, 62, is the first woman to represent South Carolina in the Senate. She has not said whether she will run for a full term. The filing period for the Aug. 11 special primary election opens July 21.<\/p>\n

Senators in both parties lined up on the Senate floor after she was sworn in to talk to her and shake hands.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) said Tuesday that Republicans would figure out Graham Nordone\u2019s committee assignments after she was sworn in.<\/p>
