In a notable shift within MAGA circles, key figures are vocally supporting the downfall of Senator Lindsey Graham in the upcoming South Carolina Republican primary. On Steve Bannon's War Room, Bannon and conservative consultant Noel Fritsch expressed their disdain for the four-term incumbent, suggesting he could fail to reach the 50% threshold necessary to avoid a runoff. Bannon described a potential loss for Graham as 'the most humiliating thing' that could happen to him. Fritsch, who is working for Graham's challenger, Mark Lynch, characterized Graham as an 'embarrassment' and a 'counterfeit Republican,' claiming that many South Carolinians do not genuinely support him. The primary is crucial, as failing to secure over 50% of the vote would trigger a runoff on June 23. Despite Trump's endorsement of Graham, the MAGA base appears to be celebrating his struggles, with Fritsch criticizing Fox News for allegedly favoring Graham in its coverage.
