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.
Trump’s entire MAGA movement was sold to the public as a complete break from the political establishments of the Republican and Democrat parties.
His endorsement of Deep State swamp scum like Lindsey Graham is a total betrayal of his base and the principles he once proclaimed. https://t.co/0Dq5m5pscC

Endorsing Lindsey Graham for reelection is like endorsing Pam Bondi to remain as Attorney General.
He’s a backstabbing warmongering traitor. South Carolina can do better than him. There’s America First candidates that can win because SC is a RED state. Lady G must go! pic.twitter.com/4JQyswjZyK
