## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in American politics and longtime ally of President Trump, died unexpectedly at 71, likely from an aortic rupture, just days after returning from Ukraine. The President ordered flags flown at half-mast in his honor, and colleagues from both parties—Republicans and Democrats alike—paid tribute, calling him a patriot, fighter, and dear friend whose legacy will be deeply missed across Washington and the nation.
