Overview
- Graham told TMZ he bought the Disney bubble wand for a friend's child and said he will spend the next congressional break campaigning in South Carolina rather than returning to the park.
- He said he first met with Trump administration officials in South Florida before visiting Orlando and noted he has voted multiple times to fund the government.
- Photos published by TMZ showed Graham at Disney World during a two-week recess, which drew criticism as the Department of Homeland Security remained partially shut down.
- The Office of Management and Budget warned Congress that DHS could run out of money to pay personnel in May, even after President Donald Trump authorized limited payments tied to core DHS functions.
- The scrutiny has spread across parties, with TMZ also photographing Rep. Robert Garcia in Las Vegas, as public frustration grows and a recent Gallup poll found only 10% approve of Congress.
