I wonder what the process in South Carolina is to replace him. I believe he was up for re-election this November. Will his seat be filled temporarily by the governor? Will his name remain on the ballot? I believe he already won the Republican Primary election in South Carolina, so how will another Republican candidate run? Anyone here familiar with South Carolina elections?

"According to South Carolina law, McMaster will appoint someone to fill Graham’s seat until Jan. 3 of next year.
In June, Graham defeated multiple primary challengers to secure the nomination for a fifth term. South Carolina Republicans must now find a replacement nominee, with a special primary election expected by August 11 under the state’s election laws."
So interim replacement for rest of term, new primary by 8/11 to pick a new Republican candidate, general election in November, whoever wins replaces the interim appointee in January.
Sounds like a reasonable and efficient process unlike Kentucky
yeah, i like this method (have a special primary to replace a withdrawn candidate) better than just appointing someone. although ranked choice voting would have solved the problem already.
