Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham said Wednesday that his party “is in a hole with Hispanics” and primary rival Donald Trump is making matters worse.

“The first rule of politics when you’re in a hole is stop digging,” Graham, a South Carolina senator, said at an Atlantic Council event in Washington. “I think somebody needs to take the shovel out of Donald Trump’s hands.”
