美国参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的离世使华盛顿失去了一位推动对华强硬立场的最具影响力的倡导者。
周一，南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特任命格雷厄姆的妹妹达琳·格雷厄姆·诺多内填补空缺的参议院席位。麦克马斯特表示，他周日与诺多内进行了电话沟通，她同意担任该职。
“我承诺在未来几个月努力工作，支持总统，并继续推进我哥哥的事业，”诺多内说。“我知道林赛非常看重他的幕僚和同事，在他们的支持下，我充满信心。”
尽管格雷厄姆在国际上最为人所知的是他直言不讳地支持乌克兰和以色列，但近年来，中国已逐渐成为他最关注的外交政策议题之一。他多次提出，北京对美国构成了长期的重大战略挑战，并呼吁华盛顿采取更具对抗性的姿态。
目前的关注焦点转向了诺多内或其他任何人是否会继承这位已故议员非同寻常的重要角色，即同时作为国会的对华鹰派人物和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的外交政策亲信顾问。
