New Dem Super PAC Hopes to Unseat Lindsey Graham

A new super PAC has been launched by a group of Democrats in a bid to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Politico is reporting the organization is called “Lindsey Must Go.” Organizers say they have commitments totaling more than $1 million and hope to raise at least $4 million more.

The super PAC will be co-chaired by Stephen Groves, who worked on Beto O’Rourke’s presidential campaign, and Brice Barnes, who was a senior adviser to Mike Bloomberg’s White House bid.

The organization is expected to focus more on attacking Graham than pushing for Jaime Harrison, the Democrat in the race, Politico reported.

“This is not about Jaime Harrison,” said the PAC’s spokesperson Jimmy William. “This is about Lindsey Graham.”

Harrison’s campaign raised about $7.2 million in the first three months of this year, while Graham’s campaign brought in just under $5.6 million.

“Try as they might, no amount of liberal out-of-state money from Hollywood celebrities, Democrat super PACs, and the Clinton political network can successfully sell socialism in South Carolina," T.W. Arrighi, Graham’s communications director, told Politico.

Meanwhile, Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, rejected President Donald Trump’s call on Thursday for the panel to have former President Barack Obama testify about the origins of the Russia investigation.

Trump had made the pitch to call Obama before the committee in a tweet.
