American senator Lindsey Graham has claimed that there could be a deadly attack like that of 9/11 in the US if President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris keeps on deciding the country's policy. Graham is known as a prominent ally of Donald Trump.

Republican Senator from South Carolina has made these claims during Fox News Sunday programme. The lawmaker also claimed that he was also worried about nuclear tension with Iran.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the deadliest terror attack in US history on September 11 in 2001 when two out of the four planes hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists crashed into each of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. Another plane was crashed into the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania after passengers tried to thwart the hijacking.


A few days back some Republican officials, donors and advisers said Donald Trump had botched his debate with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris although the Republican presidential candidate himself praised his performance.

Lindsey Graham was one of the few party leaders to publicly say Trump's performance was poor. "A missed opportunity," Graham told reporters of Trump's debate performance, adding that the former president had failed to stay focused and lost chances to tout his record.

Meanwhile, A Texas jury will soon decide whether a convoy of supporters of then-President Donald Trump violently intimidated former Democratic lawmaker Wendy Davis and two others on a Biden-Harris campaign bus when a so-called "Trump Train" boxed them in for more than an hour on a Texas highway days before the 2020 election. The trial, which began on September 9, resumes Monday and is expected to last another week.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that six of the Trump Train drivers violated state and federal law. Lawyers for the defendants said they did not conspire against the Democrats on the bus and that their actions are protected speech.
