Lindsey Graham’s unexpected death sparks South Carolina special election, Trump weighs in

South Carolina faces a special primary election after Sen. Lindsey Graham’s unexpected death at 71.

President Donald Trump is pushing for an unexpected replacement to fill the vacancy left by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., in the Senate.

Trump wants South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to tap Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to be appointed to the lawmaker’s suddenly open seat for the remainder of his term.

“I recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham’s wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina,” Trump said on Truth Social on Monday. “This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!”

Graham and his younger sister, Darline, had a unique bond, given that, after their parents died, the lawmaker legally adopted and raised her.

Trump’s announcement comes as a scramble behind the scenes is taking place to fill Graham’s spot, and further, find a new GOP nominee to run in November to keep his seat in the hands of Republicans.

McMaster is expected to announce his pick for the seat at 4 p.m. on Monday. He has so far kept quiet about who he would prefer. Fox News Digital did not immediately hear back from McMaster’s office on who he is eyeing in the interim.

Meanwhile, a key Republican, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., also wants to see Graham’s sister get the nod for his seat.

“Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, would be a fantastic pick to serve out the remainder of the Senate term,” Scott said on X. “After speaking with Darline, there is no one better who understands Lindsey’s love for family, our state, and our country.”

Scott, earlier in the day, floated both former Rep. Trey Gowdy and former Sen. Jim DeMint as possible replacements in the interim. He hoped that McMaster would “put a placeholder and let the voters decide” later during a forthcoming special election.

“I think in the next several hours or next day or so we’ll figure out who that person is,” Scott said. “I love Trey Gowdy and Jim DeMint has been in the conversation.”

“[Graham’s] sister would be a wonderful placeholder as well,” he continued. “So we’ve got lots of candidates who could hold the place so that the voters decide. And remember the election starts August the 11th in South Carolina, three weeks from now, we’ll have a primary process.”

FROM ‘DISGRACE’ TO ‘FAMILY’: TRUMP’S REMARKABLE JOURNEY WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM

Both Gowdy and DeMint have served in Congress — Gowdy in the House and DeMint in the Senate, preceding Scott. Graham Nordone, however, has never held public office.

Multiple sources close to Scott, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) told Fox News Digital that he is pushing McMaster to choose one of the three to effectively be a placeholder and not seek a six-year term in the Senate.

While the appointment race nears its conclusion, the race for the GOP nomination to run in South Carolina is still wide open.

Reps. Nancy Mace, R.S.C., and Ralph Norman, R-S.C., are already hinting at leaping into the special election, which is set for Aug. 11. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., said that he would stay in the House, but the rest of the Palmetto State’s GOP congressional delegation have not said what their plans are.

Trump says U.S. will be “guardian of the Hormuz Strait” and is reinstating Iranian blockade

President Trump said Monday that the U.S. will be “the guardian” of the Strait of Hormuz and suggested that other countries will pay the U.S. for securing it.

“The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’ but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World,” he said on Truth Social. “The process and formation will begin immediately.”

He also said the U.S. is reinstating its blockade on Iranian ports and vessels, adding the blockade is “so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving.”

“All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait,” he said, adding that it will stay open “with or without Iran.”

The president told Fox News earlier Monday that the U.S. was “going to keep the strait, and we’ll probably run it. We’ll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we’ll call it the ‘Guardian Angel of the Strait.’ And we should be reimbursed for that.”

He did not name any countries he expected would pay under such an arrangement, but implied that Persian Gulf energy producers should.

“When we do that, we’re going to be reimbursed, because the other nations are very wealthy; they’re on our side, and we can’t be expected to do that for nothing,” he said.

He also said the U.S. had “guarded the strait for 50 years, more, and we never got paid for it,” saying other nations “made all the money.”

“We guarded it for nothing, and now we’re going to guard it,” he said. “We’re going to get paid for guarding it, a lot of money.”

The strait was open to all vessels before the U.S. and Israel launched their joint war on Iran on Feb. 28. Maritime traffic through the strait has been significantly reduced since then, and the U.S.-Iran dispute over control of the crucial waterway has derailed attempts to reach a lasting peace deal in the conflict.

Iran has argued that the vaguely worded memorandum of understanding signed by the U.S. and Iran in mid-June gave it the right to control shipping through the strait, and it balked at the U.S. government and military’s calls for ships to use the southern route close to Oman, which President Trump has insisted is open.

Iran’s embassy in the U.K., in a statement Monday, accused the U.S. of having “done nothing but violate” the agreement “since day one,” specifically by “pushing vessels toward a dangerous southern parallel route” through the strait, close to Oman’s coast. It called that “not only legally questionable but also unsafe, unreliable, and prone to accidents.”

Iran attacked several ships attempting to use that southern route last week, and on Saturday it also struck a container vessel near the western entrance to the strait, prompting the U.S. to launch multiple rounds of airstrikes on Iranian targets.

Later Monday, Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority declared in a social media post that, “due to recent hostile actions by the US forces, passage through the Strait of Hormuz is currently unfeasible.”

“As soon as stability and calm are restored, all applications will be reviewed in accordance with the scheduled timeline, and the permitting process will resume,” the PGSA added, reminding vessels that in Iran’s view, “the sole means of obtaining a passage permit” to transit the strait is through its website.

Mr. Trump’s suggestion on Monday that the U.S. should “get paid for guarding” the strait came after weeks of condemnation from Washington over suggestions by Tehran that it would in the future charge commercial ships “fees” for passage.

（大版讯）鉴于中美关系持续紧张、中国经济增长放缓以及中国《反间谍法》带来的风险，越来越多日本中小企业撤资离开中国。

《日经亚洲》报道，日本帝国数据银行的数据显示，2024年在华运营的日本企业约有1万3000家，比2012年巅峰时期少了近10%，日企“向中国市场扩张的兴趣似乎已见顶”。

受访日企把工资上涨和竞争加剧列为主要业务挑战。中小企业尤其指出，他们在开拓新客源方面面临困难。虽然许多日企仍把中国视为中长期的重要市场，但中国本土企业的崛起使他们业务面对更大的挑战。

冠病疫情暴发后，中国经济放缓的态势愈发明显，中美之间则因关税及其他问题而关系日趋紧张。另外几名日企员工被控违反中国《反间谍法》，也使日企萌生撤资念头。

在截至2024年12月的财年里，Quick营收同比下降35%，亏损约47万人民币（约9万新元）。Quick去年年底撤离中国，公司主席川口一郎说：“各种风险已显现出来，所以我认为这是一个正确的决定。”

Trump backs Lindsey Graham’s sister as his replacement to finish Senate term

July 13, 2026 / 11:37 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington — President Trump recommended on Monday that South Carolina’s governor appoint the late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to serve out the rest of his term in the Senate.

“I recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham’s wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly!”

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is scheduled to hold a news conference at 4 p.m. on Monday to reflect on Graham’s “life and service” and announce an appointment to fill the vacancy. His replacement would serve at least until January, when his current term expires.

Graham, who never married and did not have children, had a close relationship with his sister. Their mother died in 1976, when Graham was 20 and Nordone was 12. Less than two years later, their father died of a heart attack. Graham, then 22, adopted his then-13-year-old sister.

Graham’s counterpart in the upper chamber, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, said on “CBS Mornings” earlier Monday that Graham’s sister “would be a wonderful placeholder.”

The late senator had also been seeking reelection in November. A special election to determine Graham’s replacement on the ballot will be held on Aug. 11.

（华盛顿/德黑兰综合电）美国连续第二天打击伊朗，伊朗随即再对其他中东国家境内美军目标进行报复袭击。伊朗警告，美伊谅解备忘录已进入“危机阶段”，如果美国不遵守承诺，伊朗也不会履行协议。美国总统特朗普则在社媒上说，将恢复“针对伊朗的封锁”，并对通过霍尔木兹海峡的货物收取20%的“费用补偿”。

美东时间星期天（7月12日）下午5时（新加坡星期一凌晨5时），美军对伊朗发动新一轮空袭，要进一步削弱伊朗攻击国际航运的能力。这是美军连续第二天、也是一周内第四次打击伊朗。

美国中央司令部发声明说，美军出动战斗机和海军舰艇、单向攻击空中无人机，并首次动用单向攻击海上无人机，打击了伊朗的防空系统、沿岸雷达站、导弹和无人机设施，以及小型船只等，共数十个目标。

声明重申，霍尔木兹海峡是对全球贸易至关重要的海上通道，不受伊朗控制；美军已准备好保障商船在这条海峡的航行自由。

据伊朗媒体报道，美军的袭击持续到星期一下午，阿巴斯港、锡里克、格什姆岛、贾斯克岛等多地传出爆炸声。美国炮弹击中胡齐斯坦省一处农用水泵站，导致一死四伤。在弗鲁尔岛，美军的袭击造成一死二伤，西南部港市阿巴丹也被炸，至少二死三伤。

伊方随后做出回应，伊斯兰革命卫队星期一对约旦、巴林、科威特与阿曼境内的美军目标实施了报复袭击；目标包括约旦的哈桑王子空军基地、巴林的谢赫伊萨空军基地、科威特的阿里·萨利姆空军基地与艾哈迈德·贾比尔空军基地、阿曼的雷达系统等。

革命卫队强调，美国停止军事干预是霍尔木兹海峡恢复正常航运的唯一办法。

特朗普星期一坚称，霍尔木兹海峡目前、也仍将保持开放。他也宣布，重启‘伊朗封锁令’，阻止伊朗的船只或客户进出该海峡，同时对过境海峡的货运收取费用。

他在社交媒体上写道：“从现在开始，美国将是‘霍尔木兹海峡守护者’，但基于这一身份且出于公平，美国将按所有运输货物20%的比率获得补偿，作为在这个动荡地区提供安全保障所需的费用。”他也说，这个过程和安排将立即执行。

特朗普同日接受福克斯采访时也指责伊朗一再违反协议，才招致美军猛烈打击。

伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃则称，伊朗从来不是先违反承诺的一方。“我们一开始就说……只要对方遵守承诺，我们就会履行承诺。在实践中我们也表明，每当对方违约，我们便不履行承诺。”

他说，伊朗和美国达成的谅解备忘录已进入危机阶段，不过德黑兰仍继续与卡塔尔、巴基斯坦与阿曼调解人员磋商，以防止紧张局势继续升级。

巴加埃还指责美国向阿曼施压，阻碍伊朗与阿曼制定霍尔木兹海峡共同管理机制。

伊朗媒体报道，星期一又有两艘船因试图“非法”穿越霍尔木兹海峡，遭革命卫队鸣枪警告。

乔治城大学卡塔尔分校政府学教授卡姆拉瓦指出，美伊冲突已演变成霍尔木兹海峡控制权的争夺战，而双方都志在必得。

他告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）：“伊朗敏锐地意识到，它无法在军事上与美国和以色列抗衡，因此正试图把军事冲突变成经济冲突……伊朗希望（在海峡）建立某种行政影响力，美国则决心削弱这种影响力。”

美伊近期恢复互袭后，国际油价反弹，星期一布伦特原油的价格一度上涨5%。

另一方面，伊朗保守派报章《哈姆沙赫里报》星期六晚在网上发布“为已故最高领袖哈梅内伊复仇”的目标名单，其中包括美国总统特朗普和国务卿鲁比奥，还有以色列总理内坦亚胡、英国首相斯塔默、法国总统马克龙等13名外国领导人和高级官员。

不过，目前没有迹象显示这份名单获得伊朗官方认可。
