Lindsey Graham Suspends Campaign After Push to Intensify War

HeadlineDec 22, 2015

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has suspended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. In a video message, Graham said his campaign has successfully increased support for ramping up the war against ISIS.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Four months ago, at the very first debate, I said that any candidate who did not understand that we need more American troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria to defeat ISIL was not ready to be commander-in-chief. At that time, no one stepped forward to join me. Today, most of my fellow candidates have come to recognize this is what’s needed to secure our homeland.”
