Despite moments of bipartisanship, Lindsey Graham remains one of Trump’s biggest advocates on the Hill — a surprising turnaround for a senator who once referred to him as a “jackass”
Lindsey Graham is defending President Donald Trump daily on impeachment. He’s in the mix on Syria. He’s running the powerful Judiciary Committee. And don’t forget what he calls his “new thing” — legislation to keep plastic out of the ocean.
But Durbin, who also sits on the Judiciary Committee with Graham, added that he maintains a good working relationship with Graham that “shocks everyone at home," noting their work on immigration and criminal justice reform. And he concedes that in the GOP-controlled Senate, Graham “is the only show in town,” when it comes to finding a Republican senator to partner with.
“The challenge is it’s the same guy,” Coons said. “It’s the same Senator Graham who is simultaneously doing things on Judiciary with which I strongly disagree and doing things on Foreign Relations and foreign aid matters that I appreciate. That’s part of the challenge of being able to work across the aisle.”
“The one thing about the president that I hope senators understand is he listens, he wants to be successful and he is not an ideologue.”with a Twitter shoutout — and Graham declared victory after the House agreed to vote on the next steps forward of the impeachment inquiry last week.
