## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in Republican politics and a key voice on national security, has died at 71 after a sudden illness. Once a sharp critic of Trump, he later became one of his most loyal allies. Known for his powerful Senate roles on Judiciary and Homeland Security, Graham shaped debates on immigration, border policy, and government oversight — even as he recently met in Jerusalem to discuss sensitive investigations. His passing won’t disrupt the upcoming Senate trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whom Graham had previously called for impeachment. A decorated Air Force veteran turned lawmaker, Graham’s legacy spans decades of Capitol Hill drama and decisive leadership.
