Darline Graham, catapulted from obscurity last month to replace her late brother Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate, faces a special primary on Tuesday, with voters questioning her qualifications despite personal popularity.
Kathy Bustos of Mount Pleasant, after a Republican forum last week, articulated this common sentiment: 'I think Darline’s wonderful,' she said, but added, 'I think it’s a very nice gesture for her to have the rest of his term to complete, but I’m not sure that she’s really qualified or ready to be elected to the Senate.'
