WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Darline Graham said she plans to run for a full term to replace her brother, Lindsey, who recently died after serving two decades in the U.S. Senate.
"I have been praying a lot, talking to my family ... I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely," Graham told Fox News' 'Hannity' program in a clip released on Monday.
Her announcement comes days after U.S. President Donald Trump asked her to run for the U.S. Senate in a ?special Republican primary in South Carolina on ?August 11.
Graham was appointed to ?fill her brother's vacant Senate seat until the first week of January.
U.S. Representative Ralph Norman, a South Carolina Republican, said on Saturday he will seek to replace Lindsey Graham in the Senate.
Remember when Sunny Hostin was yammering on the view about holding privileged people accountable? Oh, how the tables have turned. The View co-host was caught on police body cameras trying to leverage her former title as a federal prosecutor to keep her son from getting arrested. More hypocrisy from the left.

NEW YORK, July 20 (Reuters) - Authorities said a man protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement was taken into custody on Monday after he ignited fireworks and a fire on the steps of the building that houses the agency's office in lower Manhattan.
The Department of Homeland Security said on X that the fireworks grazed a bystander, and the man "poured what is believed to be gasoline on the stairs of the entrance of the building and set it on fire."
It said a Federal Protective Service officer who detained the man, described by DHS as "an anti-ICE rioter," sustained minor injuries. The man was not identified.
The building at 26 Federal Plaza also houses FBI offices.
Local television ABC7 video showed a man in a helmet pouring liquid from a red bucket on the steps and setting it ablaze. As the flames rose, he attempted to flee but was intercepted by three uniformed men who led him away as smoke billowed.
DHS said officers recovered the man's bag, which contained two pellet guns and "a manifesto." A Reuters photographer saw a sign saying "ICE off our streets" in a cart brought by the suspect.
FBI Director Kash Patel said on X that the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force was investigating the incident.
"What occurred outside 26 Federal Plaza this morning was deeply disturbing. I’m relieved no one was seriously injured and that a suspect is in custody," New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani told reporters on Monday.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United States has conducted a new round of airstrikes targeting Iran after announcing the death of another American service member. Iran has responded Monday by launching an attack targeting Bahrain, the home of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. Even as the U.S. and Iran inch closer to all-out war, Iran’s interior minister traveled to Pakistan, a key mediator in the conflict, for talks. With shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz largely stalled, oil prices have been rising in recent weeks. The British military says a second ship was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, this one off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
Secretary Rubio delivered a powerful condemnation of far-left terrorism, describing it as a distinctive evil rooted in poisonous resentment and hatred of Western civilization itself.
A person is in custody after authorities say an incendiary device was ignited outside a federal building in Lower Manhattan on Monday morning, prompting an investigation by the FBI's New York Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The incident happened outside 26 Federal Plaza, which houses several federal agencies, including the FBI's New York office, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and an immigration court. Officials said the suspect allegedly deployed a makeshift incendiary device believed to have been made with fireworks and a flammable liquid before being taken into custody at the scene.
FBI Director Kash Patel said two people suffered minor injuries. Authorities temporarily secured the building and surrounding area while investigators processed the scene. Officials have not announced any charges or identified a motive, and the investigation remains ongoing.
The Defense Department has identified the two U.S. service members killed last week while defending against Iranian missile and drone attacks in Jordan.
Military officials said 25-year-old First Lt. Tyler James Feehan of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and 19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, Texas, died while supporting a U.S. mission in Jordan.
U.S. Central Command announced Saturday that the two troops were killed as American forces responded to Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks targeting the region.
The circumstances surrounding their deaths have not been released. The service members were assigned to support operations tied to the U.S. mission against the Islamic State group.
Their deaths mark two of the latest American casualties in the escalating conflict with Iran, as U.S. forces continue conducting military operations across the Middle East in response to Iranian attacks.
Spain is back on top of the soccer world after defeating defending champion Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Substitute Ferran Torres scored the game's only goal in the 106th minute, lifting Spain to its second World Cup title and first since its 2010 championship. Spain controlled much of the match before finally breaking through late in extra time.
Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, was unable to find the net despite forcing extra time. The defending champions finished the match with 10 players after Enzo Fernández was sent off in second-half stoppage time.
The victory caps an unbeaten tournament for Spain and adds another major international trophy under head coach Luis de la Fuente, whose team also captured the 2024 European Championship.
Taylor Farms has expanded a voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce products over a possible connection to a multistate Cyclospora outbreak that has sickened dozens of people across the United States.
The recalled products were distributed to 27 states, including Texas and Florida, and include select fresh-cut and shredded iceberg lettuce items. The recall was issued after health officials identified a potential link between the products and an outbreak of the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. (fda.gov)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating the outbreak, which has also been linked to iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in five Midwestern states. Consumers infected with Cyclospora can experience severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue and weight loss, with symptoms often lasting several weeks if left untreated. (cdc.gov)
Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators for recalled products and discard them or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone who develops symptoms after eating recalled lettuce should contact a healthcare provider.
President Donald Trump said the latest round of U.S. airstrikes against Iran was carried out in honor of American service members killed in recent Iranian attacks.
Speaking to reporters Sunday, Trump said U.S. forces struck Iran “very hard” following the deaths of American troops and indicated that additional military action remained possible.
The renewed strikes targeted Iranian military infrastructure, including command centers, air-defense systems, missile and drone launch sites and communications facilities, according to U.S. officials. The operation came as fighting between Washington and Tehran entered another consecutive night.
Two U.S. soldiers were killed in an Iranian attack on a military base in Jordan, while another service member died during a drone-related incident in Iraq. Iran has continued retaliatory attacks against U.S. and allied targets across the Gulf region.
The escalating conflict has also heightened concerns about commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the possibility of further attacks on military and civilian infrastructure across the Middle East.
President Donald Trump says the Qatar-donated Boeing 747 currently used as Air Force One will soon be temporarily taken out of service for additional security upgrades.
Speaking to reporters Sunday, Trump said the aircraft would be “maxed out” with new upgrades following questions about whether it has the same defensive and communications capabilities as the older presidential planes.
Trump began traveling aboard the aircraft on July 1 after the United States accepted it as a gift from Qatar and launched an accelerated effort to prepare it for presidential use. The jet was renovated, flight-tested and repainted in a new red, white, blue and gold design before joining the presidential fleet.
Security concerns intensified after Trump used an older Air Force One to depart Turkey during a recent overseas trip. The Secret Service reportedly recommended the change amid renewed tensions with Iran, although the White House has maintained that the newer aircraft meets high-level security standards.
The Qatar-donated plane is expected to serve as a temporary presidential aircraft while Boeing continues work on two permanent replacements for the aging Air Force One fleet.
