Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., declared “all Republicans should embrace” the reported candidates for Supreme Court justice under consideration by President Donald Trump.
In remarks on “Fox News Sunday,” Graham lamented the expected resistance by Senate Democrats to a Trump nominee.
"All Republicans should embrace these picks,” Graham said, adding, however: “Here's the truth. Donald Trump could nominate George Washington or John Marshall and they couldn't get through. It may be a handful of Democrats will vote for a Trump pick because they have to politically. I've never seen [the Senate] as this dysfunctional."
“There's nobody that President Trump could nominate from a conservative event that will get many Democratic votes,” he continued. “This is a nightmare for red state Democrats to oppose a highly qualified nominee — and all four [of the reported finalists] are highly qualified, been on the court, know what they are doing, mainstream judges.
“Red state Democrats are going to have a very hard decision and I hope every Republican will rally behind these picks because they are all outstanding.”
