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.

I am purposely not watching tv. I don’t need a stroke.
Harry - try that exercise equipment again.
Harry Reid is a slimeball.
May he fight with another treadmill sometime.
No, you bitter, old coot...Graham finally saw the light after McCain died.
Good. McCain must have had something big on Graham.
Hairy Reed IS the dark side.
Oh, that looks ugly!
So do the contusions.
Proof McCain was working for the Democrats.
Reid was two good punches short of what he deserved.
Exactly. Whatever complaints one may have against Lindsey, he is still a Republican Senator. Even at his worst he will still be better than that seat going to a Democrat. Even at his worst. Holding the Senate is as important as winning the presidency, and Lindsey has done his part.
South Carolina likes the new Lindsay.
McCain WAS the Darkside.
Give it a day. Lindsay is only conservative before an election.
Go punch yourself in the face you lying snake.
Like McCain, Harryass Reid will soon be going to the HOT side!
Gee, if Graham went to the dark side after McCain croaked, then Reid went to the nearest whorehouse in Nevada and stayed there (If he visited the Mustang Ranch, he never rode a horse. He did ride something else but when he refused to pay her, she gave him a black eye. /Sarc).
Wonder how much money the Mob gave him under the roulette table when he was Nevada’s Gaming Commissioner? Wonder if he had anything to do with the murder of Mafia man Alan Dorfman who was skimming from the mob-controlled casinos that Reid was overseeing. (He was double-tapped in the back of the head and put into the trunk of a car, in Chicago if I remember the news stories correctly).
#7. He should have paid her the full amount.
