- Lindsey Graham is spending big to ward off an ‘America First’ primary challenge
Sen. Lindsey Graham is spending over $18 million in South Carolina's primary to counter a challenge from businessman Mark Lynch, who positions himself as a staunch 'America First' advocate. Lynch criticizes Graham's past support for immigration amnesty and interventionist foreign policy, including his 2016 remarks on Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The race tests the GOP base's alignment with 'America First' against Graham's current hawkish stance.
