.President Donald Trump continued to support Sen. Lindsey Grahams (R-S.C.) reelection bid through a phone call during his state GOPs gala though some in MAGA world arent buying it.
Former South Carolina Lt. Gov. André Bauer (R) announced his primary challenge to Graham earlier last month, arguing that he doesnt believe the four-term senator is a true conservative for South Carolina. Paul Dans, a former key architect of The Heritage Foundations Project 2025, has also jumped into the race.
Graham, whose relationship with Trump has soured over the years, received the presidents Complete and Total endorsement for reelection earlier this year. Trump reiterated his support as Graham held up his phone to the microphone on Saturday for the audience to hear.
Lindsey, thank you so much, youve been my friend. I know youre in a big race, and I dont think its going to be a contest, but I have a feeling youre going to do very well. You have for a long time," Trump said at the event during remarks posted by Graham on X on Saturday.

(25,406 posts)I've noticed a couple of ads for non-Graham GOP'ers interested in taking his job. And he's spent money on ads showing how he and Trump have glommed on to each other. He got a pretty good scare a few years ago from Jaime Harrison, and he doesn't want to have to go through that again.
