The "sudden" death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) late Saturday night opened up a seat in the U.S. Senate that one MAGA politician is already making plans to claim, because "YOLO," according to a new report. Emily Brooks, The Hill's reporter on the House of Representatives, said she asked a spokesperson for Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) about her potential interest.

"On Rep. NANCY MACE interest in Senate," Brooks wrote. "Asked about interest in replacing the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, a person familiar with Mace’s thinking said: 'YOLO.' Looking at polling this week."

For those unversed in internet slang, that means "You only live once." Washington, D.C. litigator Richard J Oparil replied to this news with the comment, "Graham is not even cold yet."

For her part, Mace hasn't made a public statement on seeking the seat, but she has posted multiple responses to Graham's death on both her personal and professional accounts. Both messages read the same.

1. Any Republican who dies or resigns is inevitably replaced with someone even worse

because the GOP has an infinitely deep bench of awful people.

2. Obviously, she doesn't mind comparisons of herself to vultures.

3. I'm not so sure Mace has a snowball's chance, but sure - let her run and lose.

4. Please proceed.

I'm thinking McMasters son or Evette

5. You've made far too many enemies, Nancy...

You're as hated within Republican circles as you are with Dems. To the point you couldn't get nominated for constable in Bum Fuck, SC. And then there's the fact that you're completely nuts. Certifiably insane.

6. She's probably hoping she can sweet-talk her way into the Senate with a temporary appointment.

7. As the SC RNC picks the general election replacement

and the governor picks the interim Senator, it seems likely they will coordinate to pick the same person.it is unlikely that it would be Mace who came in 5th in the Governor's race.

8. She finished 5th in the primary. There are several more likely candidates

Only a fool would donate money to her campaign. Of course, there are lots of fools among the repubs.
