President Donald Trump has officially thrown his weight behind RINO Lindsey Graham—whose record includes climate pandering, open-borders showmanship, and globe-trotting war-baiting—in the 2026 Senate race.
“Happy Birthday to Senator Lindsey Graham!” Trump posted, along with a smiling golf-course photo of the two. “He is always there when I need him, and I hope everyone in the Great State of South Carolina will help Lindsey have a BIG WIN in his re-election bid next year.”
But if the goal was to rally the MAGA faithful around the career politician, Trump may be in for a surprise.
“Thank you, Mr. President! This means a great deal to me. I love being in the fight with you to save our country. You are the right man at the right time for our nation and the world,” Graham responded on X.
Lindsey Graham, who has held office since 2003, is seeking a fifth six-year term in 2026, but his approval rating has been circling the drain.
According to The Independent, a recent Winthrop University poll showed him at just 34%, far behind South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster and Senator Tim Scott.
Despite Trump’s backing, many grassroots conservatives are asking why the leader of the America First movement is aligning himself with a man who has repeatedly sided with Democrats on key issues like immigration, climate change, and foreign wars.
Ignore Trump and throw Lindsey’s ass out.
Maybe Lindsey threatened to bomb the White House if Trump didn’t endorse him.
I always thought that given his behavior, Linda would retire in 2026.
I guess we should expect this as his “baseline.”
Problem is SC has an open primary, so I suspect the dems have been keeping him seated for years.
ugh, This dirtbag needs to be kicked to the curb. I despise him.
Fagala MAGA.
President Trump is going to deport you back to Tatarstan, Kazan if you keep attacking him.
he’s not going anywhere. he’s president trump’s golf buddy.
Do you mean Kazan, Graham, or all of the above?
Trump needs to hear from his base, since he often listens when a message gets through.
Didn’t Trump endorse Lindsey last time as well?
I do not understand.
Am I the only one that remembers when Lindsey Graham was practically the resident, go to, Republican at Fox News?
Well, the rust is showing through the gold plating on his golf buddy.
It’s politics.
Like him or not, Lindsey isn’t going anywhere.
What else has he got going for him.

We all know what side you're on, Marcus.
