Trump rages against Graham on abortion in rare break between allies

Former president Donald Trump lashed out at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday after Graham expressed public disagreement with Trump’s latest statement on his abortion position.

“I blame myself for Lindsey Graham, because the only reason he won in the Great State of South Carolina is because I Endorsed him!” Trump said in one of several posts shared on Truth Social, his social media site, in which he targeted one of his top allies in Congress.

Trump, in a video published Monday morning, said the issue of abortion access should be left to the states after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Despite pressure on his campaign by antiabortion groups, the former president did not endorse any efforts to establish a federal limit on abortion — including a bill by Graham that would ban abortions after 15 weeks.
