Graham: GOP upsets on election night tell Dems 'they'll get their a-- beat' if they support 'socialist' bill

Following a good election night for Republicans, Sen. Lindsey Graham, S.C., told Fox News that Democrats should be hesitant of supporting President Biden's "Build Back Better" socioeconomic spending package, which he referred to as "socialist."

The South Carolina senator highlighted several Republican upsets and elections where the far-left was rebuked. Most notably, he pointed to Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin winning Virginia's governorship alongside fellow Republicans Lt. Gov-elect Winsome Sears and Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares.

In Pennsylvania, Republicans made a clean sweep of statewide judicial offices on the ballot – most notably with Harrisburg Judge Kevin Brobson being elected to a ten-year term on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The win allows the GOP to retain its two-seat minority on the 7-member bench upon the age-mandated retirement of Justice Thomas Saylor. Judges Megan Sullivan, Stacy Wallace and Drew Crompton also won their statewide bids in the Commonwealth.

Graham also mentioned a New Jersey race that sent shockwaves through the state. Edward Durr, a truck driver from Gloucester, unseated New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney. Sweeney was considered New Jersey's second-most powerful Democrat and was in office for more than two decades.
