US EditionAP: Lindsey Graham Got a War with Iran. What Will It Cost the Country and His Party?
Senator Graham leverages strong ties with President Trump and a well-funded campaign to advocate military action on Iran amid an election year that could reshape his legacy.
- On Monday, Senator Lindsey Graham filed for a fifth Senate term while supporting President Trump’s decision to strike Iran, saying he aims to help Trump and strengthen the military.
- Graham’s hawkish record shows he has advocated direct confrontation with Tehran for over a decade, rejected the Iran nuclear deal negotiated under President Barack Obama, and cheered last year’s strikes on nuclear sites.
- On cable news in February, Lindsey Graham appeared on nearly every show to press for war and said he spoke to President Donald Trump on Sunday night and Monday morning defending his role.
- With control of Congress at stake, the conflict raises political and regional consequences, including potential costs for the Republican Party in an election year where control of Congress is at stake.
- Graham’s campaign posture includes emphasizing conservatism and his relationship with Trump, while critics express intra-party unease, highlighting his influence and military advocacy.
