The announcement, Graham said, is “just unnerving to its core.” That’s an interesting word choice, “unnerving,” suggesting a shaken confidence. Suggesting a potential shift, even if subtle, in how Graham views the Trump presidency. That effort prompted House Democrats to launch an impeachment inquiry into Trump, which seems likely to result in passage of articles of impeachment targeting Trump. It’s unlikely that Trump will be removed from office, a punishment for impeachment that requires two-thirds of senators to agree. Graham is in a safe seat, for example — but not one that’s as safe as Republican senators in redder states.
