Lindsey Graham just gave something away

Yesterday Lindsey Graham announced that he was refusing to take a coronavirus test ahead of the Senate debate, even though Democratic candidate Jaime Harrison and the moderators had all agreed to do so. At the time, the question was whether Graham was just trying to get out of the debate because he was afraid he’d lose, or if he really did think (or know) he had coronavirus.

Now Harrison has announced that the debate hosts have changed around the format in order to keep everyone safe from the potentially contagious Graham, in order to accommodate Graham’s refusal to take a test. This leaves Graham with no excuse not to show up.

If Lindsey Graham still doesn’t show up tonight, it’ll mean he’s indeed a chicken. But if he does show up now that he won’t be required to take a coronavirus test, it’ll mean that he really does fear that he caught coronavirus from the Trump White House cluster, and that a positive test result could harm his already-teetering Senate reelection prospects.
