Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) resigned last week. “Cory, your days are numbered. Start packing,” Mace said in a statement announcing the expulsion resolution.But Mills is pointing the finger...

Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a fantastic job. He is running against a LUNATIC named Mark Lynch, who supports perhaps the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky. I don’t have to go into great detail, but needless to say, Mark Lynch would be a DISASTER for the Republican Party, and Lindsey Graham just, GETS THE JOB DONE. VOTE FOR LINDSEY ALL THE WAY. MAGA! President DONALD J. TRUMP

@NancyMace Today I officially filed to run for Governor of South Carolina. South Carolina didn’t just shape me, it made me. And now it’s time to give it everything I got. My family has been here for hundreds of years. I grew up here. I raised my children here. And serving South Carolina has been the honor of my life. I’m working hard to earn every single vote, and I won’t stop until you tell me to.

@wendyp4545 Graham is going to win his Primary again because the people in South Carolina repeat the same mistakes every single time that he is up for reelection. To the voters in South Carolina: To get rid of Graham, you need to rally your vote around 1 single challenger. As it stands today, you're splitting the vote between the 2 challengers which allows Graham to slide in and win it. Graham has used this same strategy every reelection and like clockwork, the people in South Carolina keep repeating the same mistake.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) on Sunday said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was acting as if U.S. soldiers were “expendable cattle” following his comments about the possibility of losing servicemembers in battle. “I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima,” Luna wrote in a post on the social platform X, with a clip of Graham’s remarks on Fox News’s “Fox News Sunday.” During...

@MarkLynchSC Lindsey Graham is vulnerable because he has put global priorities ahead of American ones. He has ignored Americans in favor of foreigners. He has fought for special interests instead of his constituents. That ends on June 9. I will represent South Carolinians, defend their values, and fight for America First policies in Washington.
