Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is urging President Donald Trump to “find common ground” with congressional Democrats — and continue talks on an infrastructure plan for the nation.
In a tweet after the president abruptly abandoned a scheduled White House sit-down with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, R-N.Y., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Wednesday morning, Graham advised Trump not to give up.
"My advice to the President is to try to find solutions to problems like infrastructure, prescription drugs, and a broken immigration system," Graham tweeted.
“See if we can do two things at once -- fight with each other and find common ground.”
In a follow-up tweet, Graham added that he “didn’t like what happened” at the contentious hearings ahead of the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, “but I’m still showing up, and still trying to find common ground.”
Graham, however, sympathized with Trump, saying he’d “never seen anybody treated this way.” Yet, Graham urged Trump, “rise above it if you can.”
Up for reelection in 2020, Graham has become one of Trump’s most vocal allies in Congress, The Hill noted.
