## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, the 71-year-old Republican from South Carolina and close Trump ally, died suddenly of an aortic dissection linked to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. His office confirmed the cause, while his death certificate awaits further testing. President Trump called him a true patriot and one of the greatest senators he ever knew, and fellow leaders like Biden and Scott honored his legacy. Flags across the U.S. will fly at half-staff until July 18th, and South Carolina will hold a special election to fill his seat, with primaries scheduled for August 11th. Graham, who served in the Air Force and later the Senate since 2002, leaves behind a decades-long career of public service.
