South Carolina is referenced as the U.S. state represented in the Senate by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who served from 2003 until his death on July 11, 2025, at age 71. He was a prominent Republican figure known for advocating strong anti-Russian policies and supporting military aid to Ukraine and Israel. Following his passing, Governor Henry McMaster appointed Graham’s sister, Lindy Graham (Darlin Graham Nordon), as interim senator until a special election. The state is also linked to legislative efforts on sanctions against countries purchasing Russian energy resources.
