Graham, Trump huddle to talk GOP's 2022 strategy
By Jordain Carney - 02/22/21 07:21 PM EST
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he discussed the 2022 elections during a weekend meeting with former President Trump that he had billed as part of an effort to unite a fractured party.
Graham, returning to the Capitol on Monday evening, said they "just talked about the 2022 cycle."
"He’s very involved in helping the team win," Graham added, noting that Trump "made a bunch of phone calls" and is "trying to get the best team on the field."
An adviser to the former president didn't immediately respond to a question about the meeting and what, if any, outreach Trump did.
Graham traveled to Florida over the weekend to discuss the future of the Republican Party with Trump, who has indicated he wants to remain as the dominant force heading into the 2022 midterm elections and 2024 presidential election.
"I want us to come together as much as possible. I think we need to be united around getting the majority back. ... The worst possible outcome for the Republican Party is to continue to argue amongst itself," Graham told reporters on Friday.

I hope Trump gave Lindsey a load of bullshit so that when he tells it all to the dems it will all blow up in their faces.
