Graham was met with resounding boos when he spoke before Trump at the event in Pickens, S.C. But when Trump took the stage later in the afternoon, the former president urged his supporters to accept Graham as an asset in his bid for reelection in 2024. “We’re going to love him,” Trump said of Graham. “I know it’s half and half, but when I need some of those liberal votes, he’s always there to help me get them. We’ve got some pretty liberal people, but he’s good. We know the good ones.”
Trump said he would have to “work on these people” later in the speech after supporters continued to boo at the mention of Graham’s name. Trump then lauded Graham for endorsing him for president early on after he declared his 2024 candidacy, promising supporters that he would get Graham “straightened up” and offering to campaign for him in South Carolina.
