South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told “Hannity” Tuesday night that “excited” Republicans are unified for the midterm elections.
Graham said a midterm victory for the GOP is supported by the twin pillars of “Kavanaugh and the caravan,” referring to the concerted effort by Democrats to defeat Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the migrant caravan that threatens to bring illegals across America’s border.
“Kavanaugh and the caravan,” Graham told host Sean Hannity. “I mean, if you’re Republican and you’re not excited about voting, you’re legally dead.” (RELATED: Migrant Caravan Member Admits He Committed Attempted Murder, Will Seek Pardon In US)

Graham also told Fox that remarks he made Monday night, warning Mexico that not stopping the caravan could imperil the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement, were acknowledged.
Graham said he received a call from Mexico’s ambassador to the United States during which the senator told him, “You need to stop this caravan … keep working with Trump …”
