Graham: 'If we fail on taxes, that's the end' of GOP majority [View all]

Source: The Hill




BY MAX GREENWOOD - 10/27/17 05:09 PM EDT

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday warned that if Republicans fail to deliver on their promise to reform the tax code, they'lll likely lose their majority in the House.

In an interview with Fox News Radio's Brian Kilmeade, Graham cast a successful vote on tax reform as vital to Republicans' survival in Congress following the failure of efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

"Well, I think all of us realize that if we fail on taxes, that's the end of the Republican Party's governing majority in 2018," he said. "We'll lose the House, probably lose ground in the Senate. And President Trump has got a profile different from the party — there's kinda two or three different Republican Parties now, I guess. But we're all in it together."

Graham also said that, if Democrats take back the House in 2018, they would soon move to impeach the president.
