| − | Graham is a media-pandering [[liberal]] until election time, or when he hoped to be picked as [[Trump]]'s vice president. It can be a bad sign when Graham praises a [[Republican]] nominee, and conversely a good sign when Graham opposes one. Despite continuing to hold to his [[RINO]] positions, he belatedly became more supportive of [[conservative]] President [[Donald Trump]] when Graham faced reelection against a conservative primary challenger in 2020 and a heavily funded [[Democrat]] in the general election, [[Jaime Harrison]]. Graham is up for reelection in 2026 and [[Republican]]s should have a more [[conservative]] senator representing the people of [[South Carolina]]. | + | Graham was a media-pandering [[liberal]] until election time, or when he hoped to be picked as [[Trump]]'s vice president.
