WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — A month ago, Darline Graham was a private citizen mourning the death of her brother. On Tuesday, she’ll ask South Carolina voters to give her a full, 6-year term to the Senate.

Whether they will is anyone’s guess.

“The past three weeks I’ve buried my precious brother, I’ve learned a new role in the United States Senate, I’m on this brutal campaign trail with a brutal schedule, and I’m still standing,” Graham said Monday. “So I think that should tell everybody that I’m a hard worker and I’m really strong and I want to help the people of South Carolina.”
