President Trump endorses Sen. Lindsey Graham for re-election
President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, praising him as a “wonderful friend” and expressing his full support for Graham’s re-election campaign in 2026. In a post on Truth Social, Trump commended Graham for his hard work and dedication to the people of South Carolina, a state that Trump himself won big in during the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections.
Trump highlighted Graham’s efforts as the Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, where he is focused on growing the economy, lowering taxes, and eliminating government waste. Additionally, Trump noted Graham’s commitment to securing the border, stopping migrant crime, supporting the military and veterans, promoting American energy dominance, defending the Second Amendment, and prioritizing peace through strength.
Despite some backlash from Trump supporters in the past, including boos at rallies where Graham spoke, Trump emphasized his unwavering endorsement of the senator and urged the people of South Carolina to rally behind Graham for a decisive victory in the upcoming election.
In response to Trump’s endorsement, Graham expressed gratitude for the president’s support, calling it a validation of their strong professional and personal relationship. Graham acknowledged Trump’s historic political comeback and pledged to work alongside him in the Senate to advance their shared agenda for a more prosperous and secure America.
In addition to endorsing Graham, Trump also voiced his support for several other Republican lawmakers, including Senators Bill Hagerty, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Cynthia Lummis, and Representative John McGuire.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Trump’s endorsements carry significant weight within the Republican Party, shaping the direction and priorities of conservative lawmakers. With the 2026 election on the horizon, Graham and his fellow endorsed candidates are poised to leverage Trump’s backing to mobilize support and secure victories in their respective races.
