What is Lindsey Graham’s Net Worth?

Lindsey Graham is a lawyer and politician who has a net worth of $2 Million. In 2003, voters in South Carolina chose him to serve as a senator. A $2 million figure represents Lindsay Graham’s wealth. He worked as a private practice attorney before being elected to the Senate.

He also spent four terms as the representative for South Carolina’s 3rd congressional district in the US House of Representatives. Graham gained notoriety for his dramatic position-flipping after running for and failing to win the Republican nomination for president in 2016, especially his caving into Donald Trump, whom he had previously detested.

Childhood

Lindsey Graham was born in 1955 in Central, South Carolina. The Sanitary Cafe was a pub and restaurant that was owned and operated by his parents, Florence and Millie. Graham is of Scottish and Irish descent. Following his attendance at D. W. Daniel High School, he enlisted in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.

When his parents passed away when Graham was in his early 20s, he decided to enroll in the University of South Carolina so he could be close to his family and act as her legal guardian. He received a bachelor of arts in psychology in 1977 before completing his legal studies at the University of South Carolina School of Law, where he earned a J.D. in 1981.

In the Judge Advocate General’s Corps of the United States Air Force, Graham received his commission in 1982. Graham served in the South Carolina Air National Guard from the time he left the Air Force through 1995. He also served in the South Carolina House of Representatives concurrently from 1993 to 1995.

Political Career

Graham ran in 1994 for the 3rd congressional district seat in South Carolina to replace outgoing Democratic Congressman Butler Derrick. He garnered 52% of the vote in the Republican primary, and then 60% in the general election. Through 2002, Graham was re-elected for a total of three additional terms.

He participated in the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on Education and the Workforce, the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Committee on Armed Services during his time in office. In the 2002 Senate election, Graham ran to replace Senator Strom Thurmond of the United States.

He went on to defeat Democratic contender Alex Sanders after winning the Republican primary without any opposition. In 2008, 2014, and 2020, he won three additional elections. As a military hawk, Graham has developed a reputation in the Senate.

Connection to Donald Trump

Graham’s hypocritical position-changing over the years, particularly in regard to his friendship with Donald Trump, has come to be known. In 2015, when Graham was vying for the Republican presidential nomination, he was outspoken about his disdain for his rival.

He highlighted that Trump was a xenophobe and a religious bigot while calling him a “jackass.” Graham, though, had made a complete about-face shortly after Trump was elected, suddenly turning into a strong admirer of the man he believed to be unqualified for the office.

Later, he supported Trump’s discriminatory policies and unethical behavior in the White House and pushed for his reelection.

Corrupt Practices After the 2020 Election

Graham was one of the loudest proponents of the Big Lie that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen after Joe Biden won the election, and he said so after the outcome.

Graham called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to contest the results of the vote count in Georgia, where Biden won by about 14,000 votes, and requested that the legitimate mail-in votes be disqualified.

The district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia looked into the call as part of a criminal probe into attempts to invalidate the state’s election results.

Political Stances

Early on, Graham became well-known for his ability to collaborate with Democrats on a bipartisan basis. He denounced the Tea Party, voted to approve Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, two of President Obama’s nominations to the Supreme Court, and made concessions on matters like immigration and campaign finance reform.

His ideas, though, have become increasingly extreme and reactionary over time. In spite of his assertion in 2016 that Supreme Court vacancies should never be filled in a presidential year, he voted to select a new justice just one day after Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away in 2020, in one of his most blatant acts of hypocrisy.

In addition to his other conservative views, Graham is opposed to immigration, gun control, abortion, and vaccinations. He supported the Iraq Resolution in 2002, and since then, he has spoken in favor of military action in Iran, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Libya, and Yemen, among other countries. Graham is also anti-LGBTQ rights and a climate change denier.

Rebellion in the Capitol

Graham voted against Donald Trump’s impeachment even though he had to leave the Capitol during the right-wing uprising on January 6, 2021. Trump was the one who incited the rioters. Additionally, he voted against the establishment of an impartial commission in May, which prevented an investigation of the uprising.

Relationship

Graham has never been married and is a single parent. He attends the Corinth Baptist Church in Seneca, South Carolina, where he resides.
