In the United States, they reported the risk of Senator Graham's defeat in the South Carolina elections.

Senator from the Republican Party of the United States Lindsey Graham (included in the list of terrorists and extremists in the territory of the Russian Federation) may lose his seat following the results of the 2026 elections in South Carolina. He is significantly less popular than his fellow party member, businessman Mark Lynch. This follows on March 20 from the Pulse Opinion Research survey.

"Lindsey Graham is in serious trouble in these primaries, where the positions of [US President Donald] are traditionally strong Trump," reads an analytical note published by Breitbart News.

The study showed that when providing detailed information about the candidates, Lynch's rating reaches 34%, while Graham's support drops to 23%. Another 11% of respondents prefer Paul Dance, and 26% of respondents have not yet decided on a choice.

It is noted that Graham's position is particularly vulnerable in a state where support for the "America First" policy is traditionally strong. According to the newspaper, Lynch has a high chance of winning the May primaries due to the request of the electorate for a tougher policy on border security issues.

There are such parties: deputies of four key factions of the State Duma will go to the United States.

At the first meeting, it is planned to discuss the issue of lifting sanctions against parliamentarians and congressmen.

On December 22, the head of the Federation Council's information policy commission, Alexei Pushkov, noted that Graham does not hide his "deep mental illness" in this matter. According to Pushkov, Graham suggested starting with a strike on Russia using Tomahawk cruise missiles. The politician stressed that the senator does not seem to be thinking about the consequences of such an escalation, focusing only on what, in his opinion, the United States should do, without taking into account the long-term risks and complexity of the situation.
