\n

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., will run for Senate in South Carolina following the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham<\/a>, he revealed Saturday.<\/p>\n

“I’m here to announce that I will be a candidate for the Senate<\/a>, I’ll be throwing my hat into the ring, and day one, Kayleigh, I will be laser-focused on passing President Trump’s America First” Norman said during an appearance on “Saturday In America with Kayleigh McEnany.”<\/p>\n

Norman then championed Trump’s SAVE America Act and said he would focus on eliminating the filibuster, saying Republicans need to<\/a> “nuke” the procedure.<\/p>\n

Norman made the announcement just days after President Donald Trump<\/a> publicly endorsed Darline Graham<\/a>, Lindsey Graham’s sister who was appointed to finish the remainder of his term, to run for the seat fully when her term is up in January.<\/p>\n

DARLINE GRAHAM IS CONSIDERING RUNNING FOR A FULL SENATE TERM, A REPORT SAID, AS MEMORIAL SERVICES HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR HER LATE BROTHER LINDSEY GRAHAM.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I hope Darline does this, in \u2060that there would be nobody better to honor \u200bthe legacy of her beloved brother, Lindsey,” Trump \u200bsaid in a Truth Social post, also writing “Run Darline Run.”<\/p>\n

Norman acknowledged Trump’s endorsement Saturday, telling McEnany he asked for Trump’s blessing.<\/p>\n

“He decided to go with Darline, who’s a nice person, and he decided to go with her and I respect that, but that doesn’t deter my plans. I’m in this to win,” he said.<\/p>\n

Norman will be running in the Aug. 11 special GOP primary election<\/a>, revealing that he is in the process of filing the paperwork.<\/p>\n

Though not backed by Trump, Norman has received support from GOP Senators Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rick Scott, R-Fla., both of whom endorsed him<\/a>. The pair, like Norman, are both vocal opponents of the filibuster.<\/p>\n

Norman will be entering a competitive primary, as at least two other candidates have declared their intentions to run with further challengers expected to enter the race.<\/p>\n

Businessman Mark Lynch, who ran against Lindsey Graham<\/a> in the recent June primary, has announced his candidacy, as did attorney Duke Buckner.<\/p>\n

And though Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., hasn’t publicly announced an intention to run, state lawmakers are already eyeing his seat in the House<\/a> should he decide to enter the fray, according to reporting<\/a> from News From The States.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital contacted Reps. Norman, Mace and Fry, along with Sen. Darline Graham for further comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
