Conservative voters in South Carolina have a clear choice in 2026 — and President Donald Trump has made his pick.
In a major announcement on Truth Social, President Trump gave his full and total endorsement to Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), calling him a “wonderful friend” and a “tireless fighter for the America First agenda.”
🔴 Trump: “Lindsey Graham is Fighting for YOU”
“Senator Lindsey Graham is putting in tremendous effort on behalf of the outstanding people of South Carolina,” President Trump stated, noting that he achieved major victories in the Palmetto State during the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections.
As the current Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, Graham is helping to:
- Grow the U.S. economy
- Lower taxes for working Americans
- Eliminate wasteful government spending
- Defend the Second Amendment
- Secure the southern border
- Support U.S. veterans and active-duty troops
- Promote American Energy DOMINANCE
“Lindsey has been a wonderful friend to me and has always been there when I needed him,” Trump said. “He has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election. He will not let you down!”
🇺🇸 Lindsey Graham Responds: “Humbled and Honored”
Senator Graham, who has represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate for over two decades, expressed heartfelt gratitude in a post on X (formerly Twitter):
“President Trump’s endorsement means the world to me. I am humbled by his faith in me as a Senator and as a friend.”
Graham went on to praise Trump’s leadership, calling his historic return to the White House “the greatest political comeback in American history.”
On a personal note, Graham joked that he still hasn’t beaten the 45th (and 47th) President on the golf course, but added:
“I look forward to helping enact President Trump’s bold agenda to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.”
🗳️ What This Means for 2026 — And Why It Matters
With South Carolina voters heading to the polls in 2026, President Trump’s endorsement may prove to be a decisive factor. While some Trump supporters previously booed Graham at campaign events, the President’s backing sends a powerful message:
“He’s with us — and we stand with him.”
Trump’s endorsement also reflects a unified front in the GOP as conservatives work to retake control of the Senate and continue fighting for the principles that made America great.
🏛️ Other Republican Endorsements Announced by Trump
President Trump didn’t stop with Graham. He also offered endorsements to several other America First Republican lawmakers, including:
- Sen. Bill Hagerty (Tennessee)
- Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (Mississippi)
- Sen. Cynthia Lummis (Wyoming)
- Rep. John McGuire (Virginia)
These strong conservatives are committed to upholding constitutional freedoms, securing the border, and keeping the U.S. military strong.
✅ BOTTOM LINE: President Trump’s Word Carries Weight
With the 2026 midterm elections on the horizon, Trump’s endorsement of Lindsey Graham signals continued unity among Republican leadership — and a clear path forward for conservatives across the country.
South Carolina voters now have their marching orders: Re-elect Lindsey Graham and keep the Trump agenda alive and well in Washington.
