## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, 71, died suddenly Saturday night after a brief illness, just days after returning from a trip to Ukraine. A staunch ally of President Trump and longtime Senate Budget Committee member, Graham’s passing sent shockwaves across Washington. Trump praised him as a tireless patriot, while fellow lawmakers—from Tim Scott to Joe Biden—honored his legacy of service, even amid political differences. Emergency responders were called to his home for a cardiac arrest, and Trump has ordered flags flown at half-staff until July 18. South Carolina’s governor will now appoint a temporary replacement, with a special primary to choose the next GOP nominee. Graham’s military background and unwavering commitment to public service echoed in tributes from across the aisle.
