‘You’re the gold standard in the Republican world, the most consequential endorsement, I think, in the history of politics,’ Graham told Trump

Fresh off his primary win, Lindsey Graham lavished praise on Donald Trump, calling him “not far behind God” and casting him as the Republican Party’s undisputed kingmaker.

The four-term South Carolina senator made the remarks during his Tuesday night victory speech, after fending off five challengers and winning more than half the vote.

“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham told a crowd of supporters, while laughing. “Mr. President, you’re not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”
