An angry Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) complained that hes getting killed financially in his reelection bid, complaining about money his challenger is raising from people who hate my guts.
Graham claimed in an interview with Fox News that Democrat Jaime Harrison will raise $100 million for the campaign to topple him on Nov. 3., which he said will set a state record.
The three-term incumbent likely was exaggerating. But Harrison reportedly raised about $9 million in the 72 hours after the death late last week of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (in his comments on Fox, Graham put the figure at $6 million).
Ginsburgs death has heightened the stakes in the already hugely consequential election. And Graham, as chairman of the Seate Judiciary Committee, is in the middle of the controversy sparked by the Republican push to confirm a Ginsburg replacement before the next president takes office after he and other GOP leaders thwarted then-President Barack Obama from filling a high court vacancy in 2016 because the White House was up for grabs that year.

(3,424 posts)I don't know or care about your personal life. I do care that you appear to be afraid to be the maverick succeeding your friend John McCain. You seem to be living in fear...of your base...of your President, and perhaps the FSB.
There is some extraordinary force in your political life that has turned your principles into mush. You are just another morally bankrupt partisan hack.
I had hoped that you would be among those Republicans who could lead your party out of the wilderness, and restore comity to our competitive political system.
You deserve your approaching retirement. Your Senate career will be remembered for your failures of the last four years.
COWARD!

I also wonder if he knows something about internal polls. Because public polls have it close to even for a while now. I wonder if he's in weird trouble.

SC is a weird state where the senator is running behind Trump.
