Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on Sunday he is hopeful about the future of the GOP heading into the 2022 midterms.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Congress should be sending a stronger signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin as fears of an imminent invasion of Ukraine persist.
"Yeah, but not in a real, meaningful way. There's 70 votes in the body for invasion sanctions, pre-invasion sanctions with a waiver, post-invasion sanctions," Graham responded. "So, the problem has been secondary sanctions. It's not just enough to sanction a Russian bank. You want to sanction anybody that does business with that bank."
When asked about whether the Biden administration's release of intelligence on a possible false flag operation has been effective in deterring a military advance into Ukraine, Graham said the U.S. government should be doing more. Stephanopoulos pressed: "So where do things stand with you and President Trump right now? Do you support his comeback in 2024?"
The key GOP senator gave advice to the former president as well, suggesting that "if he looks backward, I think he's hurting his chances." U.S. District Judge J. Michelle Childs, who sits on the federal court in South Carolina, is reported to be one of Biden's top contenders to replace Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, who recently announced his retirement.
