Some other names besides Mace

Who might replace Graham?
It is too early to say with any precision who might replace Graham. But some early names began to emerge Sunday.

Rep. Nancy Mace, who finished in fifth place in the recent South Carolina gubernatorial primary, told CNN she was “strongly considering” a bid for the seat.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that Pamela Evette, South Carolina’s lieutenant governor, was fielding calls about getting into the race.

Evette ran for governor this year and had President Donald Trump’s endorsement, but she lost in a runoff after Trump also endorsed her opponent.

Trump said Sunday he had someone in mind for who he’d like to see serve out Graham’s term.

“I have somebody that I think would be great, but I don’t want to say it now because it just, you know, it’s too soon with Lindsey,” Trump said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
