## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham’s rollercoaster relationship with Donald Trump—once a sharp critic, then a loyal ally—defined a turbulent era in Republican politics. From calling Trump’s rise “being shot in the head” to later joking he was “second only to God,” Graham’s dramatic pivot after the January 6 riot revealed the depth of their political bond. Despite public reversals and shifting stances, Graham remained a steadfast Trump surrogate, championing “America First” policies—even when they clashed with his own foreign policy views. Trump, in turn, hailed Graham as a “true American Patriot,” underscoring a complex alliance that reshaped the GOP’s trajectory.
