According to congress . gov, 45 states say that the interim senator may be appointed by the state governor. Darline will serve as a South Carolina Senator until January 3 2027.
For Darline to serve longer, she would have to win election. There will be an election held now to replace Lindsey Graham in 2027.
The weird thing is that she was not a public figure and has no experience. Her wikipedia page was created yesterday. She was appointed by Trump’s recommendation to the South Carolina governor.
Is that normal? Seems kinda weird
