Earlier this month, Senator Lindsey Graham became the fourth member of the US Senate since 2013 to have died while in office and the sixth member of Congress to have died while serving in the 119th Congress.

Oof don’t look through our past presidents or other governmental types and see how often the same family names come up. “always has been” meme is unfortunately fitting here.
South Carolina governor appoints people to the seats of deceased Congress members for the remainder of their term, that really isn’t unusual or shady. It just so happens he appointed LG’s younger sister, which is more unusual and shady.
That really is a tremendous paragraph.
Wait, who elected Darline? Are we in a nepo state now?

I’m not sure if I’d say “now” exactly…
