Graham made this statement after the call:

“Senator Scott and I had a great call this afternoon with religious leaders throughout South Carolina whose congregations are suffering as we battle coronavirus.

“We explained the benefits that are available to religious organizations and the congregations. We also thanked them for their work in continuing to speak with their members about the need to contain the virus.

“In difficult times our faith is important. We all look forward to the better days which lie ahead.”
