Washington DC - Senator Lindsey Graham has been playing defense for his fellow politician, JD Vance, who has been facing public pressure after being chosen to run alongside Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Graham sat down for an interview on the CBS show Face the Nation, where he was asked if Trump, who the senator is close with, had any "regrets" over choosing Vance to be the vice presidential nominee.

Graham argued that Vance has one of "the most compelling stories in American politics," which is chronicled in his popular memoir Hillbilly Elegy, and emphasized, "The American-first agenda will be in good hands" with Vance.

He went on to add that whoever Democratic nominee Kamala Harris chooses to be her running mate will "buy into her agenda" and accused Harris of allowing enough drugs to cross the southern border that it could "kill everybody in the world."

Graham was later asked about past remarks Vance made regarding "childless cat ladies," which recently sparked controversy for being offensive towards people without children, but he argued that Vance is a "good person" who will help Trump win.

The Harris campaign recently sent an email to supporters spreading the idea that Trump has been feeling "buyer's remorse" from choosing Vance, who was once a very vocal anti-Trump Republican.
