South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham that the GOP will not reap the benefits of former President Donald Trump’s policies while electing someone else in 2024.

“How many times have you heard: ‘We like Trump’s policies, but we want someone new?'” Graham said Saturday at a Trump campaign event in South Carolina. “No Trump policies without Donald Trump.”

Graham called the former president “strong” and “reliable,” and said Trump made the world “a better place.”

“We live in a dangerous world today. The good news for the Republican Party is that there are many, many good people for years to come,” Graham said.

“But Donald Trump is just one. And I say this sincerely, you can talk about his policies, but you cannot do what he did,” the senator added.

Graham’s recent display of full-throated support for Trump is in sharp contrast to his skepticism in November. After Trump announced he would run for president, Graham said Trump was “hard to beat” but was no longer endorsing him.

Despite his muted support for Trump last year, Graham has remained one of the former president’s staunchest allies.

This is Trump’s third run for the presidency. He won his race against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and lost to Joe Biden in 2020. Trump could face a challenge from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2024, though DeSantis has not said if he will run.

Representatives for Trump and Graham did not immediately respond to Insider’s requests for comment.
