Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said during an interview on Sunday that former President Donald Trump needed to remain focused on the future and his vision for the country if he wants to win back the White House.
Graham made the remarks during a Sunday interview on ABC News’ “This Week” with Pierre Thomas while talking about the recent ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court.
“It’s not a law-based ruling. It is a political decision. The hatred of Trump is so widespread,” he said. “You know, the Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College, make D.C. and Puerto Rico a state and national elections through HR-1. This Colorado Supreme Court made a political decision. In my view, there is no constitutional basis for the decision they rendered. I think it will be a slam dunk in the Supreme Court. Donald Trump will eventually be on the ballot in Colorado.”
When asked if he was concerned about Trump continuing to claim that he won the 2020 presidential election, Graham said that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton effectively held the same view as Trump after she lost in 2016.
“He’s not the first politician to claim to have been denied a fair election,” Graham said. “But here’s what I would say, I accept the election results of 2020. I’m worried about 2024. If President Trump puts the vision out, improving security and prosperity for Americans, he will win. If he looks back, I think he will lose.”
