US Republican Senator Graham quits presidential race due to low support

Graham’s departure could trigger a winnowing of the Republican field, with other long shots like former New York Gov. George Pataki – and potentially former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Sen. Wilkins couldn’t immediately be reached following Graham’s announcement Monday morning. You can’t win that kind of primary without devoted support. The senator told CNN that he has “no intention” of endorsing another candidate anytime soon, and he’ll be focused on spending time with his family.

But Graham’s exit could mean the most for Florida Sen. New supporters include Eddie Floyd, Anita Zucker and Bob Royall, all former co-chairs for Graham’s finance efforts in SC.

Graham earned high marks for that statement.

An Air Force veteran and reservist, Graham has called Obama “a small-minded guy in big times”.

And speaking of those “undercard” debates, Graham’s withdrawal from the race nearly guarantees debate sponsors will find a way to end those consolation events, whether or not the senior senator from SC is soon followed across the political River Styx by Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, and perhaps others.

In an election cycle when an unapologetically bombastic outsider candidate, Donald Trump, has captured the imagination of Republican voters, Graham stubbornly embodied the opposite: a longtime elected official who prided himself on his work across the aisle and his legislative accomplishments.

Upon news Caitlyn Jenner had come out as transgender and a member of the Republican Party, Graham said she’s welcome in the GOP and to vote for him if her priority is national security.

“At that time no-one stepped forward to join me”, he said. “I’m not going to suspend my desire to help the country”, Graham said.
