Nordone is expected to only serve the rest of Graham’s current term, which runs through January. A separate special GOP primary will be held in August for the full six-year term.
President Donald Trump announced his support for Nordone earlier Monday. He said her appointment would be a “fabulous tribute” to her brother.
Nordone and Graham had a close relationship since they were the only siblings in the family.
She introduced Graham during his presidential kickoff announcement in 2015.
The two grew up in a room behind their parents’ pool hall, bar and restaurant called the Sanitary Cafe.
