Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner’s “Special Guest” at a “Video Conference” fundraiser that costs $1,000 for political action committees and $500 for personal attendance.

The event starts at 5 p.m. today via a Zoom link.

Graham is the latest Republican who’s raising money for Gardner recently.

Efforts learn more about the event from Gardner’s office were unsuccessful.

Last month, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell urged fellow Republicans to chip in to Gardner’s campaign and, “Help him fight off Schumer and the radical left.”

In a recent fundraising email, Gardner not only spotlighted his support from McConnell but also Donald Trump, Jr., U.S. Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona, and Joni Ernst of Iowa—all of whom implored Gardner backers to donate to his campaign now or risk seeing the Democrats take over the U.S. Senate.

Graham, who’s become known as one of Trump’s staunches defenders, was once a harsh critic of Trump, just as Gardner once was.

Gardner once promised not to vote for Trump, and Graham once called Trump a “race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot.”

Now Gardner votes with Trump 89% of the time; Graham is with Trump on 87% of votes.
