Graham: Trump will 'be helpful' to all Senate GOP incumbents
By Jordain Carney - 02/26/21 01:34 PM EST
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) pledged on Friday that former President Trump will "be helpful" to Senate GOP incumbents on the ballot in 2022, as Republicans increasingly turn their focus to the midterms.
"The president is going to be helpful to all Republican incumbents on the Senate. We've got a great slate of incumbents," Graham said during an interview with Fox News Radio.
He added that Trump would be "working with our incumbents" and "helping" Republicans try to unseat Democrats in Arizona, Georgia and New Hampshire.
Trump endorsed Sen. Jerry Moran's (R-Kansas) reelection bid this week, and Graham noted on Friday that they had also been on the phone with Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.).
Trump hasn't publicly committed to supporting every GOP Senate incumbent. He's encouraged a primary challenge against Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and John Thune (R-S.D.), who are up for reelection, and warned in a statement that he was willing to get involved in GOP primaries in order to support candidates who align with him.
