Darline Graham, the woman who was recently appointed by President Donald Trump to serve as interim senator from South Carolina, replacing her brother Lindsey Graham—who died on July 11—expressed in a speech that the right to vote in electoral processes should only be for Americans.

The 62-year-old sociologist is campaigning to try to be re-elected to the position she will hold until January 2027, the date on which the current legislative period ends.

With his appointment, the Republicans maintained their advantage of 53 seats compared to 47 occupied by the Democrats in the Upper House, at a key moment for Washington's legislative agenda.

Therefore, it is essential for Trump's plans to control the Senate that Darline manages to secure re-election in November.

Considered by her opponents as an inexperienced lady in American politics, Graham shared a video on her social networks where, in her first campaign announcement, she showed her opposition to the issues of abortion and the participation of transgender athletes in sports competitions historically established to measure the performance of people born biologically as women.

"I am honored to serve South Carolina and grateful for President Trump's endorsement. I will work hard every day to deserve it.

I am a conservative Republican and I believe this: every life is valuable. "Men have no place in women's sports and only American citizens should vote in our elections," he mentioned as his legislative priorities.

Despite having the backing of the New York magnate and the support of the Political Action Committee (PAC) of the Republican Jewish Coalition and the Security is Strength PAC, the sister of the late Lindsey Graham had never held an elected position before and that worries within the Republican Party, since in the special primaries she faces nine other candidates for her seat who have no experience in the political arena.

In addition, whoever manages to emerge victorious must defeat Democrat Annie Andrews in the elections scheduled to take place in November.
