For years, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) has delivered for conservatives. He has been at the center of the most consequential conservative victories of the past decade. South Carolina would be well served by sending him back to the United States Senate.
Start with immigration.
More than any other senator, Lindsey Graham has turned President Donald Trump’s border promises into law. First, he played a major role in passing the Laken Riley Act, one of the most significant immigration enforcement measures in recent memory. But more importantly, as chairman of the Budget Committee, he guided the One Big Beautiful Bill through an extraordinarily difficult reconciliation process, helping secure the Working Families Tax Cuts and other conservative priorities, despite widespread skepticism that the legislation could pass.
As former senate insiders, we heard from numerous sources that when Senate Republican leadership felt stuck on reconciliation, they turned to Graham for help to get it done. Thanks to Graham, Trump scored wins on virtually all of his legislative priorities.
More recently, Graham led the fight to pass $70 billion in immigration enforcement through the Senate. The funding will strengthen ICE and Border Patrol operations through the remainder of President Trump’s term and provide long-term resources for enforcing immigration law, even if Democrats refuse to fund ICE.
Graham’s record on crime is equally strong.
Graham was one of the first Republican Senators to fight to crack down on fentanyl. Partnering with Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), Graham championed efforts to lower sentencing thresholds for fentanyl dealers and supported legislation making traffickers whose drugs result in death eligible for the death penalty.
Even beyond legislation passed, Graham has consistently made a difference for conservatives. During the confirmation fight over Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Graham’s forceful defense of Kavanaugh helped rally support at a critical moment.
There’s a reason that President Trump trusts and has endorsed Graham — because he has earned that trust. Senate Republicans rely on him because he’s a team player who delivers.
The Washington Reporter wholeheartedly endorses Lindsey Graham for re-election to the United States Senate.
