Now, I’ve been through a few of these hearings before, so I’m hardly naïve to the ways of Supreme Court votes. Earlier this month, he updated his list of potential Supreme Court picks — another breaking of a norm. Mr. Trump wants to increase his chances of winning the election. Mr. Graham and Mr. Tillis, who face their own tough re-election races, want to hold their seats by energizing the president’s base. (Worth noting: In that Fox News interview, Mr. Graham repeatedly injected requests to contribute to his campaign between his comments on the court.)
