COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is making a trip to South Carolina to help kickoff U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham’s bid for a fourth term.
Graham’s campaign says Pence will be with Graham at events in Myrtle Beach and Greenville on March 30.
In a release, Graham praised Pence as “a strong ally and close friend.” The 63-year-old senator has often fielded challenges from the right in his previous re-election campaigns, subject to criticism that he’s been too willing to work with Democrats to accurately represent conservative South Carolinians.
For the 2020 campaign, associate Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison is considering seeking his party’s nomination to unseat Graham.
Pence was in South Carolina last year to campaign with Gov. Henry McMaster, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump.
So I guess this is why Graham was such a wimp yesterday when he wouldn’t defend McCain from Trump’s vile tweet storm.
Homophobia campaigning for denial.
I know it gets said every damn day, but you really couldn’t invent this stuff. Not sane and sober, anyway.
Any chance SC will dump him?
I heard that, the other day, Trump was choking on a Big Mac.
It was quite a race between Pence and Graham to see who could more quickly perform the Hindlick Maneuver.
That is very unlikely. The only chance to get rid him will be in the primaries and he has gone so far right, that won’t happen. Pence should have just sent a cutout, it is just as animated as the real thing and the travel and security costs are minimal.
