Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced that he is voting Monday to reelect President Donald Trump with just over 70 days to go.

“President Trump has pushed back against Chinese expansion, Chinese misbehavior, intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, and their role in spreading the coronavirus,” he wrote, referring to the CCP virus. He added: “President Trump has been a steadfast pro-life president and is standing up for religious liberties throughout the world.”
