Washington (CNN) Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham is stuck once again between a President whose support he needs to win re-election and his lifelong friendship with the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, who encouraged all to put country first. But time and political necessity have softened Graham's public grievances with President Donald Trump. The presidential embrace has been months in the making. Beginning with golf outings with Trump, Graham now frequently takes calls from the President. Over the weekend, Trump tweeted his latest gripe against McCain, who died in August, referring to the controversial dossier that has become one of Trump's longest-held grudges against the former Arizona senator.
