Trump’s praise of Graham drew a hail of boos in the senator’s home state of South Carolina.
Former President Donald Trump defended Lindsey Graham after a mention of the senator drew boos from a crowd at a campaign stop in his home state of South Carolina.
Trump made an appearance in the Palmetto State on Monday as he continues his campaign for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. According to most polls, Trump is the overwhelming favorite to clinch it, frequently drawing around 50 percent support from likely Republican voters.
During a speech on Monday in Summerville, Trump took a moment to offer praise for the help he has received in the past from Graham, who has represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate since 2003. As soon as Trump actually mentioned Graham by name, he was met with a hail of boos, prompting him to come to the senator’s defense.
