Senator Graham Outlines The Key To Victory For Trump This Fall

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said over the weekend that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will beat Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris as long as he stays focused on making her have to defend her disastros policy proposals.

Graham made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker where he called Harris “the most liberal person to ever get nominated for president in the history of the United States.”

“She’s going to the Soviet Union playbook to lower prices, called price control,” he said. “She wants to eliminate private health care. She’s for reparations. She’s against fracking. She’s for the Green New Deal. On and on and on. So I would make it about policy. A nightmare for Harris is to defend her policy choices. Every day we’re not talking about her policy choices as vice president and what she would do as president is a good day for her and a bad day for us.

Welker jumped to defend Harris, claiming that she does not oppose fracking, even though Harris has explicitly stated that she does support banning fracking. Harris has never reversed her position.

“How can you be for the Green New Deal — wait a minute, wait a minute — how can you be for the Green New Deal and not be opposed to fracking?” Graham asked.

Welker wouldn’t answer for her false statement and instead just moved on.

Graham concluded by saying that some of the Republican Party’s biggest stars, governors like Ron DeSantis and Glenn Youngkin, need to be hitting the campaign trail for Trump.

“I’m looking for President Trump to show up in the last 80 days to define what he will do for our country to fix broken borders, to lower inflation,” Graham said. “The numbers that Americans are living with under Harris/Biden are terrible: 50% increase in gas prices, mortgage rates going through the roof, grocery costs are really high. That’s what I would focus on. Policy. Policy is the key to the White House.”
