## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden passing has thrown Washington into turmoil, leaving a gaping hole in the Senate’s leadership just as critical votes loom. His absence weakens the GOP’s already narrow majority and disrupts key committees — from defense spending and avoiding a government shutdown to confirming the acting Attorney General and pushing sanctions on Russia. Without Graham’s steady hand, Republicans face mounting pressure to navigate these high-stakes battles without his experience, influence, or reliable votes — and the clock is ticking before the Senate recess.
