## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, the influential Republican from South Carolina and longtime Senate leader, passed away at 71 after a sudden cardiac arrest at home, just days after returning from a trip to Ukraine and wrapping up his reelection campaign. Known for his close alliance with Trump and his pivotal role on the Budget Committee, Graham leaves a massive void in Washington and his home state, where a special election will now be scheduled. Tributes poured in from both sides of the aisle, with Trump calling him a patriot and Biden honoring his devotion to public service. A decorated Air Force veteran and nearly three-decade veteran of Congress, Graham’s legacy as a forceful, principled, and deeply loyal senator will be remembered across the nation.
