“I miss Donald Trump,” Graham told Fox News’ “Hannity” Tuesday night, adding, “I hope he’s considering running. Let’s start a ‘draft Trump’ movement. He’s the one guy I think can go to the American people and say, ‘Let me finish what I started. What I did worked.’”
Trump has not formally declared whether he will run for president again though has touched the possibility in many interviews.

Graham further warned conservatives that if they don’t come out for next year’s midterm elections “you have nobody to blame but yourself.”
“Joe Biden’s overwhelmed by the job of being president,” he stated. “The left has lost its mind. There’s more fentanyl that crossed the border this time in 2021 than in all of 2020. Israel is under the gun — 3,500 rockets [fired by Palestinian militants]. Where is it coming from? Iran. To the Biden administration, you would be insane to start negotiating with Iran as long as they’re still the largest state sponsor of terrorism.
“So I am very worried about our national security. I’m very worried about our border here at home. 2022’s gonna be a hell of an election.”
