Summary
Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden death at 71 has sent shockwaves through Washington, triggering a frantic race to fill his Senate seat in South Carolina before a primary election in August. With Graham’s passing and Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization, the GOP’s Senate majority is now in jeopardy, adding chaos to an already turbulent political moment. Democrats are also seizing momentum from a sudden opening in Maine. South Carolina Republicans face a compressed timeline to choose a nominee — a process normally taking months — while state law allows the governor to appoint a temporary replacement. Despite the upheaval, strategists say Democrats’ midterm odds remain viable as both parties scramble to adapt and replace key figures.
