Despite being a onetime Donald Trump foe, Sen LindseyGrahamSC is sticking by the former president as he attempts to run for office again. The only caveat: Graham’s fellow South Carolinians, NikkiHaley and SenatorTimScott, are also in the race.
The only caveat: Graham’s fellow South Carolinian, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, is also running for president in 2024. And Sen. Tim Scott launched a 2024 exploratory committee on Tuesday, inching closer to a presidential campaign.Graham, for his part, has been friendly in his approach to both Haley and Scott.
He supported Trump through both of his impeachment trials. As Trump battles legal trouble on multiple fronts, including an indictment for a 2016 hush-money payment to a porn actress, Graham called for supporters to donate to Trump on Fox News. Graham, Haley, and Scott, along with other influential GOP lawmakers, attended the group’s Vision '24 Forum in March. Trump did not attend, although he was invited.
"Lindsey Graham's kind of seeming switch and loyalty is a feature, not a bug," Huffmon said."This is Lindsey Graham's modus operandi. He, better than most, knows which way the political winds blow. And he sets his sails to kind of blow in that direction when they need to." Timothy Head, the Faith & Freedom Coalition's executive director, cautioned that not all presidential campaigns would have longevity."You always have to kind of bear in mind that there's a chance that all of these campaigns may not make it to South Carolina," he said.
