Summary
Senator Lindsey Graham, Trump’s longtime ally and a towering figure in the Senate, has died at 71 from an aortic dissection, sending shockwaves through Washington. His sudden loss leaves the GOP with just 51 Senate votes — a razor-thin margin as they brace for a critical legislative session. Trump mourned him as a “great friend,” dismissing any notion of foul play. Graham’s legacy includes fierce support for Israel and Ukraine, opposition to Iran, and a dramatic political evolution from Trump critic to staunch defender — even managing Clinton’s impeachment and defending Kavanaugh’s nomination. His final days saw him in Kyiv with Zelenskyy, underscoring his global influence. A special election in South Carolina will decide his successor, with a primary set for August 11. Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff in honor of a man who reshaped modern Republican politics. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
