Graham: I Hope Biden Attends Trump’s Inauguration

The Hill reports:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of President Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill, says it would be “good for the country” for Trump to attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20 “if Biden winds up winning.”

“If Biden winds up winning, yeah, I think so,” Graham said when asked about whether Trump should attend Biden’s swearing-in ceremony. “I just think it’s good for the country, it’d be good for him.”

“I hope that Biden will come to his,” he added with a small chuckle. Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election earlier this month.

Asked Graham if he thinks Trump should go to Biden’s inauguration.

“If Biden ends up winning, yeah I think so. I think it’s good for the country, it’d be good for him. We’ll know in December.” He added: “I hope Biden will come to his”

Graham also told me that he spoke with Trump this weekend. “He’s gonna fight for every vote and push systems to get better, and I said, ‘Keep it up.”
