In a Truth Social post on Monday, President Donald Trump said that he recommended Nordone for the position to McMaster, saying the selection “would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!”
Graham died over the weekend at the age of 71. A special primary election is scheduled to be held in August to select a new South Carolina Republican nominee for the Senate in the general election. Lindsey Graham had won the GOP primary and was running for a fifth term as Senator.
