A final Lindsey Graham moment in DC, South Carolina

A FINAL LINDSEY GRAHAM MOMENT IN DC, SOUTH CAROLINA. There will be funerals this week in Washington and in South Carolina for Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died suddenly from a heart condition on July 11. The fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have traveled to Washington for Graham’s national funeral is striking evidence of the late senator’s enormous influence in matters of U.S. foreign policy and national defense.
The funerals take place amid growing intensity in the campaign to replace Graham. There will be a special Republican primary to find a new Republican nominee in South Carolina. It will be a rushed affair; once Graham’s funeral is over Wednesday, there will be all of 12 days to campaign before the voting. If no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff on Aug. 25.
The most prominent candidate, of course, is Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, who was chosen as his temporary successor by Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) and has been enthusiastically endorsed by President Donald Trump. It’s easy to simply assume that Darline Graham can prevail because of her name, but in various conversations around the state, there are reasons to believe the result is in no way a done deal. Republican Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry, the two leading figures besides Graham, are already campaigning hard.
Norman has announced endorsements from Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Mike Lee (R-UT), as well as former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC). Fry is traveling the state and has announced the endorsements of 43 Republican members of the state legislature. Both men are eager to participate in debates, with at least two scheduled so far. So the race will be a real, if severely truncated, contest.
But this week is about Lindsey Graham. And amid the tributes, there have been startling new revelations about perhaps the most consequential achievement of Graham’s 31 years in Congress: the U.S. war with Iran.
This week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Graham granted British documentary filmmaker Alex Holder extraordinary access to film him in virtually all aspects of his life. The result is “an unvarnished look at Graham’s yearslong quest to topple the Iranian regime,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
