South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham
told state lawmakers last week that he's “99.9 percent sure”
he'll run for president.
Appearing Monday on CBS
This Morning, Graham said that he would announce whether
he'll seek the 2016 Republican presidential nomination on June 1.
“I'm running because I think the
world is falling apart,” he said on the program. “I've been more
right than wrong on foreign policy.”
“The reason I had six primary
opponents in my last election is that I've been accused of working
with Democrats too much. In my view, Democrats and Republicans work
together too little. And I would try to change that if I got to be
president. And when it came to radical Islam, I would go after them
before they come back here again.”
Graham recently toned down his
opposition to marriage equality, saying that the United States must
“move
forward” if the Supreme Court strikes down state bans on gay
marriage.
