“If we nominate Donald Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.” That’s a tweet Lindsey Graham sent on May 3, 2016, as his party was barreling over a cliff, on the verge of making Donald Trump the Republican nominee for president.
Unfortunately for all of us, the nomination was sealed and the reality of the reality show president has been even worse than imagined, something reflected in Civiqs polling. By a margin of ten points, 48-38, people think the Trump presidency was worse than they expected. All things considered, even that gap doesn’t seem wide enough.
And while a blue wave seems to be on the horizon in just a few weeks, perhaps no race has shocked more than Lindsey Graham’s re-election bid in South Carolina, which is effectively tied at the moment. Graham still seems likely to win, but his opponent, Jaime Harrison, has made deep in-roads in the Palmetto State. A year ago nobody gave this race a chance and now, with only three weeks to go, not only is this race closer than anticipated, Harrison has been flooded with small-dollar donations. On Sunday his campaign announced an absolutely jaw-dropping total for this final quarter going into the election. Are you sitting down?
Highest amount raised in Senate history. It remains unlikely Harrison will eke it out on Nov. 3rd, but crazier things have happened, right? After all, Donald Trump is president. So, let’s get out the vote and give Lindsey Graham the Senate ending he deserves.
Humiliate Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump: Sign up with 2020 Victory to make phone calls to voters in battleground states to elect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris & the whole Democratic ticket. All you need is a home computer, a quiet place at home to make calls & a burning desire to kick Donald Trump and Lindsey Graham out of office.
