Punchbowl News: “South Carolina law mandates that GOP Gov. Henry McMaster name a replacement senator who can serve out the rest of Graham’s current term this year.”“But Graham was also up for reelection in November. Republicans will have to hold a primary at some point later this summer to replace Graham on the ballot. Graham was set to face Democrat Annie Andrews in the general election, where he was overwhelmingly favored to win in deep-red South Carolina.”“Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), 78, and the longest serving Republican in the state, is interested in the interim appointment and would run for a full term. His son, Alan Wilson, is on a path to become governor this November.”“In truth, the competition for Graham’s seat will be vibrant. South Carolina is a state that gave Trump 58% of the vote. Any Republican who wins the primary can win a full term in the Senate in a very short race.”
