Lindsey Graham to Newsmax TV: &#8216;I Don&#8217;t Think Biden&#8217;s in Charge&#8217;<\/h1>\n<p><!--more-->By Eric Mack | NEWSMAX<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden was a moderate senator, but the administration implementing all these progressive policies in his first weeks in office shows it just is not him in charge, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/newsmaxtv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsmax TV.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I like Joe Biden, but the agenda is AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.], [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi, [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer, Sen. Bernie Sanders,&#8221; Graham told &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/newsmaxtv.com\/Shows\/Greg-Kelly-Reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greg Kelly Reports<\/a>&#8221; of his former fellow senator Biden.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, no, I don&#8217;t think Joe Biden&#8217;s in charge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Graham told host Greg Kelly, progressive policies on immigration, unwinding former President Donald Trump&#8217;s Remain in Mexico policy for those seeking asylum, ceasing the border wall and the Keystone XL Pipeline, and a $1.9 trillion &#8220;liberal wish list&#8221; that has &#8220;nothing to do with COVID&#8221; are not something a moderate Biden would have supported as a senator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I think we&#8217;re going to win in 2022, because what they&#8217;re doing on the border, and by changing the Remain in Mexico policy, you&#8217;re going to create a wave of illegal immigration like you had before Trump came in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll make a prediction: Immigration will be the biggest issue in 2022 just like it was in 2016. If we can get our act together, we&#8217;re going to take over the House and the Senate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And getting the act together starts with the Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., getting back on board with accepting Trump&#8217;s help to win 2022 races in the House and Senate, Graham said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything I worried about is coming true, but we can stop it if we can get the House and the Senate back in 2022,&#8221; Graham concluded, noting he will sit down soon with McConnell to talk him into working with Trump. &#8220;And we need President Trump to help us. Without him, we cannot get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/lindseygraham-progressives-senate-moderate\/2021\/02\/24\/id\/1011428\/\">https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/lindseygraham-progressives-senate-moderate\/2021\/02\/24\/id\/1011428\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
