Trump fluffer Lindsey Graham praises Manchin and Sinema for refusing to abolish the fiilbuster
Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican, explicitly praised two Democratic senators - Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona - for rejecting their party's efforts to eliminate the Senate filibuster.
The chamber's filibuster requires 60 votes to pass legislation and both Democrats have pledged to reject pressure from their own party and stand with Republicans to protect the rule.
"I want to thank Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema for rejecting the idea of changing the filibuster," Graham said. "I'm asking no more of them than I ask of myself. So I appreciate what they're doing for the Senate and for the country."
But Graham, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, supported Republicans' successful effort to eliminate the filibuster for votes on Supreme Court nominees.
