Lindsey Graham thinks that Donald Trump has a good chance of winning the U.S. presidential election in four years.
Graham, a South Carolina Republican and close ally of Trump, told CNBC that he had advised the former president that he had no chance of winning the election in 2020.
Graham told Steve that he told him what he told him.
He said that the history of who you are and what you have done will change if you lose again. It will be one of the best political comebacks in American history if you return. Four more years will allow you to do big things.
Graham, who is facing calls to testify in a criminal probe related to Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, said Trump would now be able to position himself as the president of hope and action.
Graham said what Trump could say.
Four years is a long time to be living through this. He said you can start over.
Is it possible to remember me? When I was president, we had the lowest number of illegal immigrants in 40 years. He said that he had done it.
I stood up for my country when I was president. We had the strongest military during my presidency. The caliphate was destroyed by me as president. We had conservative judges when I was in office. Graham stated that he has a story to tell.
Graham admitted that it may take more than policy pledges for Trump to regain favor.
He said that the man's problem was personal. His policies have held up over the years. Does he have worn the American people out in terms of his personality?
Trump is under investigation for possible violations of laws related to espionage and obstruction of justice, specifically regarding his treatment of White House records that he took to his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
The senator accused the intelligence service of double standards in their treatment of Hillary Clinton, who was the subject of a separate investigation into her use of a private email server while Secretary of State. Critics argue that the two cases aren't the same.
Graham said Saturday there would beriots in the streets if Trump was prosecuted, but he also condemned the violence seen during the Capitol storm.
A federal judge denied Graham's latest attempt to challenge a subpoena for his testimony before a special grand jury in Georgia, which is investigating possible criminal election interference by Trump and his allies in 2020
The judge limited the scope of the subpoena by ordering Graham not to be questioned about phone calls he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks after the November 2020 election.
Graham has tried to avoid testifying because of his position as a lawmaker, which grants him immunity under the U.S. constitution.
