Earlier today, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham stated that infighting amongst the Republican Party is a possibility, as it pertains to President Trump’s promised border wall.

Reviewing Graham’s Commentary

During Graham’s time in South Carolina, he shared the following commentary regarding the political fight over building a wall at the Southern border:

“It seems to me that [Trump’s] gonna have to go it alone, but there could be a war within the Republican Party over the wall.

The South Carolina senator additionally opined that the GOP ought to support President Trump in his quest to secure funding for his promised physical barrier:

“To any Republican who denies the president the ability to act as commander in chief, you’re going to create a real problem within the party.”

Where Does the Country Stand Now?

Many Americans across the country have different viewpoints about the border wall debate. Those on the right-wing are overwhelmingly supportive of the wall; like President Trump, his conservative backers view the physical barrier as a paramount security measure. The left-wing, on the other hand, is strongly opposed to the border wall. Those with more liberal leanings are likelier to side with Democratic leaders, such as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
