4 potential replacements for Sen. Lindsey Graham's Senate seat after his death

2. U.S. Rep. Russell Fry

Republican Rep. Russell Fry is another potential replacement, according to media reports. Fry is a two-term lawmaker who has served the state of South Carolina since 2023. 

Following the passing of Sen. Lindsey Graham, the congressman wrote in a Sunday X post that the loss of the Republican senator is “difficult to comprehend.”

“South Carolina has lost an extraordinary public servant, and our nation has lost a consequential leader,” Fry stated. “We grieve alongside his sister, his devoted staff, and all who knew and loved him, and we pray that God grants them comfort and peace.”
