Lindsey Graham praises Scott Bessent's nomination as Treasury Secretary for economic growth in South Carolina

postandcourier.com — November 24, 2024, 10:01 PM UTC

Senator Lindsey Graham announced the nomination of South Carolina native Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary by President-elect Donald Trump. Graham believes Bessent's experience will greatly benefit South Carolina and the national economy. Bessent's nomination follows a period of indecision and competition among candidates. Concerns about his ties to liberal donors were raised, but Graham supports Bessent's credentials and vision for economic growth. Graham plans to use his role as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee to advance Trump's economic policies, including tariffs to influence foreign relations and address issues like illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
