美国南卡罗来纳州联邦参议员达琳·格雷厄姆（共和党）是本月早些时候去世的参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的妹妹，她于周四发布了一段竞选视频，在视频中她自称“保守派共和党人”，并宣称自己“已准备好履职”。
“感谢大家的祈祷，它们在这段极其艰难的时光里给了我们力量。我很荣幸能为南卡罗来纳州服务，也感谢特朗普总统的背书。我会每天努力工作，不辜负大家的信任，”她在视频中说道。
“我是一名保守派共和党人，我坚信：每一条生命都弥足珍贵。男性不应参与女性体育赛事。选举中只有美国公民才有投票权。我是达琳·格雷厄姆，我认可这条信息，我已准备好履职，”她补充道。

这段视频于周四发布，正值周二在华盛顿特区、周三在南卡罗来纳州举行的已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆悼念葬礼活动之后。一份新闻稿解释称，7月29日周三的悼念活动结束后，“家人将在南卡罗来纳州皮肯斯县举行私人下葬仪式”。
这位新任参议员正争取连任完整的六年参议院任期，目前面临紧张的选举日程。8月11日的南卡罗来纳州共和党联邦参议员初选距现在不到两周，而提前投票将于8月5日周三启动。

她在发布竞选视频的社交媒体配文中写道：“我已准备好履职，恳请大家在8月11日为我投上一票。”
视频结尾处，画面底部出现一行提示文字：“此广告由参议院共和党全国委员会付费投放，经达琳竞选参议员委员会授权发布。”
7月11日去世的林赛·格雷厄姆参议员在6月9日的南卡罗来纳州共和党联邦参议员初选中胜出，当时他正谋求第五个任期。
南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特（共和党）于7月13日宣布任命格雷厄姆的妹妹填补兄长剩余的参议院任期，她于次日宣誓就职。

唐纳德·特朗普总统于7月17日在Truth Social上发帖称，他已要求这位新任参议员参加即将到来的8月共和党联邦参议员特别初选。
“达琳来自一个极其优秀的家庭，她一生都是赢家。如果她接受提名，我将完全且彻底地支持她在南卡罗来纳州联邦参议员特别选举中参选——她绝不会让你们失望。参选吧，达琳，参选吧！”他在帖子中如此说道。
格雷厄姆在7月20日接受福克斯新闻频道肖恩·汉尼提采访时表示，她将参选。
“我参选了，”她说。

“这是正式官宣。我将参选代表南卡罗来纳州进入美国参议院，”她在7月20日的X平台帖子中写道。“今天，我站出来继承兄长林赛的遗志，为南卡罗来纳州人民服务。特朗普总统对我说：‘参选吧，达琳，参选吧。’
“有了他的支持，我将一路奋战到11月的终点线。我希望你们能与我同行，”她补充道，并附上了竞选官网链接。
达琳·格雷厄姆将在竞争激烈的共和党初选中面临多位对手，包括美国众议员拉尔夫·诺曼和拉塞尔·弗莱、前州长马克·桑福德以及商人马克·林奇。林奇曾在6月初选中挑战林赛·格雷厄姆，最终败给了已故参议员。

U.S. Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., the sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died earlier this month, posted a campaign video Thursday in which she described herself as a “conservative Republican” and declared that she is “ready to serve.”
“Thank you all for your prayers. They provided strength through an incredibly difficult time. I’m honored to serve South Carolina and grateful for President Trump’s endorsement. And I’ll work hard every day to earn it,” she said in the video.
“I’m a conservative Republican, and I believe this: Every life is precious. Men don’t belong in women’s sports. And only American citizens should vote in our elections. I’m Darline Graham. I approve this message, and I am ready to serve,” she added.

The video release Thursday came on the heels of funeral services to honor the late Sen. Lindsey Graham in Washington, D.C., Tuesday and in South Carolina on Wednesday. A press release explained that, after the service on Wednesday, July 29, there would be “a private family burial in Pickens County, South Carolina.”
The new senator, who is running to win a full six-year Senate term, is facing a tight election schedule. The Aug. 11 South Carolina GOP U.S. Senate primary is less than two weeks away, and early voting begins Wednesday,
Aug. 5.

Her social media posts featuring the campaign video said, “I’m ready to serve and I humbly ask for your support on August 11th.”
At the end of the video, a notice appeared at the bottom of the frame that says, “PAID FOR BY NRSC AND AUTHORIZED BY DARLINE FOR SENATE.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died July 11, had won the June 9 Republican U.S. Senate primary in the Palmetto State while running for a fifth term.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, announced July 13 the appointment of Graham’s sister to fill the remainder of her brother’s Senate term. She was sworn in the next day.

President Donald Trump issued a Truth Social post July 17 in which he declared he had asked the new senator to run in the upcoming August special Republican U.S. Senate primary contest.
“Darline, who comes from an absolutely incredible family, has been a WINNER all of her life and, should she accept, has my Complete and Total Endorsement in the Special Election for U.S. Senate in South Carolina — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. RUN, DARLINE, RUN!” he declared in part of the post.
Graham told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity during an interview July 20 that she would run.
“I’m in,” she said.

“It’s official. I’m running to represent South Carolina in the United States Senate,” she said in a July 20 post on X. “Today, I’m stepping forward to carry my brother Lindsey’s legacy on behalf of the people of South Carolina. President Trump told me, ‘Run, Darline, Run.’
“With his support, I’m running all the way through the finish line in November. I hope you’ll join me,” she noted, adding a link to her campaign site.
Darline Graham faces a crowded GOP primary with candidates including U.S. Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry, former Gov. Mark Sanford and businessman Mark Lynch. Lynch challenged Lindsey Graham in the June primary and lost to the late senator.
