Harry Reid said he hopes Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) loses his Senate race against Jaime Harrison (D) on Tuesday, with the former Democratic Senate majority leader alleging Graham "went to the dark side" after his close friend and colleague Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) died in 2018.
The attack from Reid, who retired in 2017, comes as Graham faces a tight contest against Harrison, with the two most recent polls released before Election Day in the Palmetto State showing Graham with just a 3-point and 6-point lead, respectively. In 2014, Graham won by almost 15 points.
"It’s very hard for me to say this because Lindsey and I have worked together on stuff. And when John McCain died, he just went to the dark side," Reid told MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin. "He was happier playing golf with Donald Trump."
"I hope that Lindsey loses. That’s difficult for me to say, but I sure hope he loses," Reid, 80, added.
Graham has repeatedly cited Reid for invoking the so-called "nuclear option" in 2013 when Senate rules were changed to allow Circuit Court nominees to be confirmed by a simple majority instead of the traditional 60 votes.
Republicans voted in 2017 to reduce the threshold for Supreme Court nominees as well, allowing the GOP-led chamber to approve President Trump's picks for the high court with a simple majority.
Fox just called SC for Graham....
Is he still alive?
Just about..
Not a fan of Graham, but he’s better than any Dem. And who gives a rat’s behind what Harry Reid says?
“””Fox just called SC for Graham....”””
If Faux called if for him then he must be WAY ahead which means President Trump as well.
Were they crying when they said it?

well the dark side was just projected to win.
This is in very poor taste for Reid but that’s hardly a surprise.
He went to the dark side and in the words of Chancellor Palpatine: “My resolve has never been stronger!”
That's the best thing I'll say about Harry...
McCain was a traitor and finally got what he deserved.
He won...didn’t he Harry?
Sound Familiar?
Well, Ha Harry Reid. You lost. I’m not real happy with Linda Graham either, but at least he is a republican.
“”””McCain was a traitor and finally got what he deserved.”””
As tight as he was with McCain I feel Graham was just as dirty against candidate and then President Trump.
Fox just called SC for Trump.
We haven’t heard from Dingy in a long time.
Trump has won S. Carolina. Reid is grousing because when Graham lost his strong minded friend John McCain (Graham psychologically is attracted to strong male figures) he then switched affiliations to another strong male figure, Donald Trump.
That’s good news. Was starting to worry ‘bout that race.
Graham has been a Trump stalwart, which partly redeems his squishiness.
