Senator Lindsey Graham, a longtime representative of South Carolina in the U.S. Senate and former chair of the Senate Budget Committee, posted a series of statements on May 17, 2026, outlining his legislative priorities and political endorsements.
In his first post at 16:00 UTC, Graham addressed ongoing legislative efforts related to U.S. foreign policy: “We’re making progress on a bill that would allow President Trump to impose sanctions on countries continuing to prop up Russia through cheap oil purchases. This would give President @realDonaldTrump another powerful tool to lead on the world stage and put America’s interests”.
An hour later, at 17:00 UTC, Graham commented on U.S.-Iran relations: “The Iranian regime has spent decades funding terror, threatening our allies, and chanting “Death to America.” Nothing suggests they’ve changed. I stand with President @realDonaldTrump in demanding real accountability and lasting change that keeps Americans safe.”
At 18:30 UTC the same day, Graham shared news about his reelection campaign: “Receiving President @realDonaldTrump’s endorsement for reelection is a tremendous honor. The Left is targeting strong Trump allies across the country, but I’m ready for the fight and more determined than ever to win.”
