South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster says he is appointing Darline Graham to finish the term of her late brother, former Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died in office Saturday at age 71.

That appointment will last just a few months. Graham was up for reelection this year, and won his Republican primary just last month. Republicans who want to vie for the full term starting next year will run in a special primary election Aug. 11.

It is not clear if Graham intends to seek a full term in the Senate to succeed her brother.

"Lindsey has always been there for me and now I will be there for him," Graham said at a press conference on Monday. "It is such a privilege to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard every day over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States."
