Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) opted against supporting the defense supplemental security bill when it finally came to the floor on Tuesday, despite advocating for months to pass the legislation.

Graham, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, is one of the Republican Party’s staunchest supporters of U.S. involvement in Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s military invasion. He was an adviser in the bipartisan border security talks for the GOP side before that deal fell apart, eventually becoming an opponent of the bill for lacking a border component.
