"President Trump deserves the lion's share of credit here. He fought like a tiger to put three constitutional conservative judges on the court. He stood behind Kavanaugh and all of us who've been working for the last 50 years to get this right to have a constitutional reset," Graham said on "Fox News Sunday."
"Friday was a glorious day," Graham added.
Trump successfully picked three candidates to serve on the Supreme Court during his tenure as President, giving the court a conservative majority. The court voted 6-3 to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday, which effectively ended the recognition of abortion as a constitutional right.
