Read previewSen. Lindsey Graham reportedly made a last-ditch effort to get former President Donald Trump to choose Sen. Marco Rubio — not Sen. JD Vance — as his running mate.
Graham was one of an "array of senators, donors, conservative media personalities and other supporters" who tried to get Trump to choose someone other than Vance, according to the Post.
Graham has since publicly defended Vance, including during an appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
The American people know it, and JD Vance will help President Trump get us on the right track."
But I'm going to vote for JD and Trump," Graham said.
