Nikki Haley Responds To Running For Graham’s Seat

The special election is expected to coincide with the November general election, with the winner serving the remainder of Graham’s term.

Graham was first elected to the Senate in 2002 after serving four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Over more than two decades in the Senate, he became one of Congress’ leading voices on national security and foreign policy and, in recent years, one of President Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill.
