Is Darin Graham Nordone a Republican? A look at her political connections with her husband Larry Nordone
Two days after the death of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Monday, Darline Graham Nordone, the late senator’s sister, was appointed by the governor to fill Graham’s seat on an interim basis.
Darrin Graham Nordone will serve as South Carolina’s interim senator for the remainder of Lindsey Graham’s term, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said Monday. Naturally, this sparked a lot of interest in the 64-year-old, especially after the unexpected death of her brother.
Darline Graham Nordone has the support of President Donald Trump and South Carolina’s Republican governor. But according to the Washington Post, she has no political experience and her previous public appearances have only involved comments about her brother.
Now that she has been appointed to such a large public role, which includes appearing on the Senate floor, frequently addressing the public and responding to events in the state, many questions remain about her. Is she a Republican like Senator Lindsey Graham? Who are her husband and children?
In this article, we will explore this.
Is Darin Graham Nordone a Republican?
Darline Graham Nordine has been a staunch supporter of her brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, throughout his political career. However, it is unclear whether she is a registered Republican.
Additionally, reports confirm that South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster recommended Darrin Graham Nordone for Senator Graham’s seat. Subsequently, this proposal was also recognized by Trump.
After taking office, Nordorn revealed to the media that it was Governor McMaster who contacted her to ask her to serve out the remainder of the late senator’s term. “I want to thank the governor for choosing me to serve out the remainder of Lindsay’s term,” she said.
Governor McMaster also confirmed that he had spoken with the president, who considers Lindsey Graham a “dear friend” and who thought the idea of appointing Nordone was “great.”
As a result, Lindsey Graham’s sister, Sen. Darrin Graham-Nordone, the interim senator, is expected to faithfully toe the Republican line for the remainder of the late senator’s term.
Who is Larry Nordone, husband of Darrin Graham Nordone?
There is very little public information about Larry Nordone, the husband of South Carolina’s new interim Sen. Darline Graham Nordone. Darling frequently appears at her brother’s campaign events, and her husband, Larry, has accompanied him at several events.
For example, according to Yahoo News on June 2, 2015, when Lindsey Graham announced his candidacy for the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Larry Nordone sat in the front row while Darline and the late Lindsey Graham were on stage. Reports indicate that Larry Nordorn became emotional at the event, telling the media, “This is just the culmination of a tough time they (Lindsay and Darin) have been through for years.”
Darrin Graham and Larry Nordorn have two children, according to a New York Times profile of the interim senator. No further details about the two children are known at this time.
