Graham says he would support third Trump term in 2028

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he would like to see President Trump run for a third term in 2028, even though the 22nd Amendment limits a president to serving two terms.

“Trump 2028. I hope this never ends,” Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity late Tuesday.

Graham made the comment in response to Hannity’s questions about Trump’s handling of the war in Ukraine and recent Russian incursions into the airspace of NATO allies, including Estonia and Poland.

The South Carolina senator said Trump doesn’t want to provoke a war with Moscow but is doing everything he can to deter Russian aggression in Europe.

“He tried to go out of his way to get Putin to the table. We don’t want to humiliate Russia, we just want to end the war, and to our friends in Russia, here’s what Trump did today. He told NATO, ‘I’ll sell you all the weapons you want to, you can provide them to Ukraine, and as to Ukraine, you can use them anyway you want,’” Graham said.

Trump earlier this year did not rule out running for a third term, telling NBC News: “A lot of people want me to do it.”

“But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration,” he said.

When asked if he would want to serve a third term, Trump said, “I like working.”
