## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in Republican politics and a staunch foreign policy voice, died suddenly of a brief illness, shocking the nation just days before his scheduled Meet the Press appearance. His emergency call for cardiac arrest and recent trip to Ukraine with President Zelenskyy underscored his global impact. Leaders from Trump to Zelenskyy hailed him as a patriot and friend. With his Senate seat now vacant until January 2027 and a midterm election looming in November 2026, South Carolina’s governor will appoint an interim senator to fill the void.
