Supreme Court Fight Returns Lindsey Graham to Spotlight
WASHINGTON—For Sen. Lindsey Graham’s re-election hopes, the Supreme Court fight could be propitious.
The South Carolina Republican has faced a tightening race over the past two months, with well-funded Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison casting him as out of touch with voter struggles and accusing Mr. Graham of regularly shifting positions when the political winds change. But the coming battle to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will highlight a stance critical to many GOP voters: He is a staunch social conservative.
Mr. Graham, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is set to preside over the confirmation of President Trump’s third Supreme Court nominee, putting him back in the national spotlight two years after his defense of Justice Brett Kavanaugh drew rave reviews from conservatives.
“I’ve seen this movie before. It’s not going to work, it didn’t work with Kavanaugh,” Mr. Graham said on Fox News, as he predicted confirmation of President Trump’s nominee by Election Day despite Democratic opposition. “They are not going to intimidate me.”
