Graham backs Lara Trump for Senate in NC, as Walker hits back
Fox News
Republican Senate candidate Mark Walker is pushing back against a prediction by Sen. Lindsey Graham that former President Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump is now a shoe-in to win the 2022 GOP primary in North Carolina.
"The biggest winner of this whole impeachment trial I think is Lara Trump," Graham forecast on "Fox News Sunday." "My dear friend Richard Burr, who I like and I’ve been friends to a long time, just made Lara Trump almost the certain nominee for the Senate seat in North Carolina to replace him if she runs, and I certainly would be behind her because I think she represents the future of the Republican Party." Fast forward 24 hours and Walker – the only major Republican so far to jump into the race – took issue with Graham's comments.More Related News
