Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he\u2019s considering leaving Washington, D.C. in an effort to derail the passage of a Democrat spending bill, mirroring a recent move by Texas Democrats. On Sunday, Graham said he may travel outside of D.C. to break the quorum the Democrats need to jam their spending package through the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested all Republican senators walk out of the Senate session as well. This comes after 58 Texas Democrats fled their state in a failed attempt to derail passage of election integrity laws.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Don&#8217;t be fooled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/texasdemocrats?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@texasdemocrats<\/a>&#8216; campaign of misinformation. <\/p>\n<p>Here are the facts on the TX election integrity bill:<br \/>\u2013 Extending early voting hours<br \/>\u2013 Removing dead people from voter rolls<br \/>\u2013 Making voting easier<\/p>\n<p>Texas Dems need to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/getbacktowork?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#getbacktowork<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ah947MVA5w\">pic.twitter.com\/ah947MVA5w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Texans for Abbott (@AbbottCampaign) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AbbottCampaign\/status\/1416815707208265731?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Graham said the Democrat spending bill would fund far-left partisan projects at the expense of U.S. national debt and stressed it must be stopped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package, designed to pass without a single Republican vote, Joe Manchin says that has to be paid for,\u201d said Graham. \u201cThe only way you can do that is through a massive tax increase. The reconciliation package is not infrastructure. It\u2019s a big government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham added some Democrat senators may not be in support of the reconciliation package. He cited Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) who said it\u2019s unclear how this spending bill would be paid for.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-prosecutor-withheld-hunter-biden-probe-details-until-after-presidential-election\/\">Report: Prosecutor Withheld Hunter Biden Probe Details Until After Presidential Election<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
