"The Republican base appreciated him," Graham said Wednesday. "We don't appreciate all the things he does sometimes. But from a policy point of view, he was the most successful president from a conservative's point of view since Ronald Reagan."
Trump should stress to voters his successes in office, the South Carolina Republican said, and members of the GOP can expect a "blowout year" during the 2022 midterm elections if they deliver a Trump-led "America first" message, he said.

Democrats need to have their failures stressed, Graham told Fox News.
"We will clean their clock," he said. "In 1994, we won 73 seats to take over … the House for the first time in 40 years. If we play our cards right, we will exceed that."

Trump added: “America will never fail, and we will never allow it to go in the wrong direction. Too many generations of greatness are counting on us. Enjoy your Thanksgiving knowing that a wonderful future lies ahead!”
