Trump gloats as Carlson-backed challenger to Graham drops out
Graham had been facing Lynch and Paul Dans, who left the race. Trump suggested that Carlson's endorsement had been the "kiss of death" for his campaign.
President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated his endorsement of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and gloated over the withdrawal of a Tucker Carlson-endorsed challenger.
"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," Trump posted on Truth Social. "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."
Graham had been facing Lynch and Paul Dans, who left the race. Trump suggested that Carlson's endorsement had been the "kiss of death" for his campaign.
"Paul Dans has just dropped out of the South Carolina Senatorial Race against the Great Lindsey Graham," he said. "It all started to fall apart for Paul when a very Low IQ individual named Tucker Carlson ENDORSED him — THE KISS OF DEATH! Lindsey has a BIG lead, and is on his way to a spectacular VICTORY because he just, GETS THINGS DONE!"
