Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) came out of nowhere last week with the announcement that he's formed a presidential exploratory committee. Dubbed "Security Through Strength," the committee will allow Graham to "test the waters" in an already crowded presidential primary field
More from WaPo:
"I’m going to take a look at the presidential primary on the Republican side. We’ll have an organization up and running today," Graham told Fox News. "This organization will allow people to donate money and their time and resources to see if there is a pathway forward for me." “The committee will fund the infrastructure and operations allowing Graham to travel the country, listen to Americans, and gauge support for a potential presidential candidacy,” reads a description on the organization’s website. Graham has previously indicated his interested in a presidential run and announced several weeks ago that he intended to launch a formal committee. His most vocal backer has been Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a close friend who has openly encouraged him to make a bid.However you may feel about Senator Graham threatening us with a presidential run, he's at least living up to the name of his committee by hawking out on issues relating to national security. In a recent interview on the Mike Gallagher Show, Graham lashed out against the Administration's decision to release Gitmo prisoners, and gave us a teaser of what wartime under President Graham might look like.
