GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham campaigned in Ohio for the Senate candidate JD Vance.
During a speech at a Republican Party dinner in Lima, Ohio, Graham riled up the crowd.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is set to chair the House Judiciary Committee if the GOP takes the chamber.
LIMA, Ohio — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina was met with roaring laughter from a crowd of Republican voters Tuesday evening when he suggested that if Republican Rep. Jim Jordan ascended to chair of the House Judiciary Committee, it would result in a raft of suicides.
Graham, campaigning in Ohio for the GOP Senate candidate JD Vance, addressed the room at a dinner hosted by the local Republican Party in Lima, a western Ohio city that Jordan has long represented in Congress. Also in attendance were Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, Ohio GOP Chair Bob Paduchik, and a handful of other top Republican officials in the state.
Vance, a former venture capitalist and the author of "Hillbilly Elegy," is facing a tougher-than-expected race against Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan and has recently been campaigning with national Republican figures, including former President Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
"You got something really special here. This guy is going to change the Republican Party, change the Senate, all for the better," Graham said near the beginning of his address, referring to Vance. "But here's some words that really rattle the Democratic Party. What's the worst thing the Democratic Party wants to hear? Chairman Jim Jordan."
