"I’m 1,000 percent convinced that the Russians meddled in our election," he said. "I’m hoping that the president will call the Congress together to secure our election the best we can."

"I don’t know how any of us can go to our constituents if we do nothing," he continued. "The one thing I cannot live with is not trying."

After the clip ends, the ad displays a message. "Senator Graham," it says. "Are you still trying?" It then calls on constituents to call Graham’s office and "tell him to secure our elections."

Fox News will air the clip in South Carolina over the weekend, HuffPost reported.
