(CNN) A prominent donor to Sen. Lindsey Graham said this week he broke with the South Carolina Republican to support his Democratic challenger after he started to question Graham's principles. If he won't defend John McCain , why would I expect him to defend any of us in South Carolina?'" Wilkerson is now endorsing Jamie Harrison, a former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party. In his criticism of Graham, Wilkerson said the senator was "a leader of ... divisiveness" in Congress and that "the willingness to work across the aisle seemed to vanish" from him after 2017. The retired businessman said he had written to Graham to tell him he "no longer recognized him as the man I once supported."
