US Senator Lindsey Graham criticises Republicans supporting Kamala Harris in Nov 5 election

Senator Lindsey Graham has voiced sharp criticism of fellow Republicans who are backing Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, asking, “What the hell are you doing?” during an appearance on NBC's *Meet the Press*. The South Carolina senator accused them of supporting “the most radical nominee in the history of American politics.”

In recent weeks, prominent Republicans, including former GOP representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, as well as ex-Trump administration officials, have endorsed Harris, leading Graham to issue his rebuke. He warned, “The danger to this country is the policies of Biden and Harris. Her fingerprints are all over this disaster. And I can’t take four more years of this crap.”

Graham’s remarks followed a series of questions from moderator Kristen Welker about Donald Trump’s recent comments referring to Democrats as “the enemy from within.” Trump specifically targeted Rep. Adam Schiff, calling him the same during a rally in California and again during a pre-taped interview with Fox News.

Doubling down on the rhetoric, Trump repeated the phrase in a podcast appearance, claiming, “We have a bigger problem from within and they hate it.” Despite the controversy, Graham largely brushed aside the former president’s language, stating, “We’re winning, and going to win, not because of what Donald Trump’s saying, but because of what they’ve done for four years.”

Graham also tied Harris to the current administration’s policies, arguing that Americans are looking for a change. Referring to Harris’ response on *The View* earlier this month, Graham noted that when asked what she would do differently from Biden, she said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
