Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is expressing his admiration for former President Donald Trump.
“It is not necessary for everybody to like each other,” Graham said during his Fox News appearance on Monday night.
He continued to express his support for Trump.
“I actually like President Trump,” Graham said. “He has been very nice to me.”
“He’s allowed me to be in his world. He allows me to give my two cents worth about different issues when he was president.”

Graham declared that the Republican Party is Trump’s party, adding, “If you don’t get that, you missed a lot at CPAC.”
On the 2024 presidential election, the South Carolina lawmaker said, “Donald Trump has the nomination right now and nobody can take it away from him if he wants to run.”
Trump expressed during a recent interview that he “can’t imagine” there are any Republicans who can beat him in 2024 if he does decide to run.
Though Trump has teased a potential 2024 presidential run, he has not made his plans known.
In contrast to Graham, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) shared that he was “bored” by Trump’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) over the weekend, as IJR reported.
“It looked like somebody that just needed his monthly dose of adoration in front of a crowd,” Kinzinger said during Tuesday’s CNN interview. “So, I really was bored.”
