(Bloomberg) – Senator Lindsey Graham’s bet on President Donald Trump paid off, as he won a hard-fought and costly campaign against Democrat Jaime Harrison.
The South Carolina Republican and Judiciary Committee chairman started as a Trump foe, then turned into a golf buddy and loyalist – going back on a 2016 promise last month when he rushed Trump’s Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett through to confirmation just days before the election.
Trump has this one. Seems to be defending his 2016 state wins well and can even afford to lose 35 electoral votes coz he had 306 in 2016. He might just take it.
