Trump to campaign with Sen. Graham as Republicans split over his waiver of Russia sanctions
Photo: SemaforPresident Donald Trump is expected to campaign with Sen. Darline Graham on Wednesday in Clemson, though the two disagree on how best to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine. Trump has waived sanctions under a bipartisan law, saying he did so to keep Moscow at the negotiating table. White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said enforcing them now would impede efforts to negotiate a durable peace, and that the president can use the authorities at any time. In Des Moines, Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, a Senate candidate, urged stronger penalties on Russia. Hinson said she will campaign with Trump on Thursday and may raise the issue. Republicans are also spending millions on a seat they once considered safe.
