Politico: Lindsey Graham getting Primaried?

[brooklynite]

South Carolina GOP Rep. RALPH NORMAN is considering a primary challenge to top Trump ally Sen. LINDSEY GRAHAM, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Graham isn’t up for reelection until 2026. But after he was booed by his own constituents at a Trump rally in South Carolina earlier this month, conservatives who have long distrusted him feel they may have an opening to take him out.

Many on the right have long viewed Graham as a centrist who embraces conservative values only when it’s politically convenient. The more isolationist wing of the party has grumbled about his steadfast support of Ukraine. And Trump allies — even Trump’s own inner circle and family — have complained that he has been disloyal at times.

Following the South Carolina rally, outside groups and constituents reached out to Norman to encourage him to run. Norman told them he would consider it, and we’ve heard he has been discussing the idea with them ever since.

1. He had 4 against him in the primary in 2020

And 7 in the primary in 2014. I’m sure he expects primary opponents in 2026 as well.

2. Lindsey should be campaigning from prison in Georgia 2026.
