## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, the influential South Carolina senator known for his fierce foreign policy stance and pivotal role in U.S. defense, has died at 71 after a sudden illness. A once-critical Trump supporter who later became his closest Senate ally, Graham championed American interventionism, traveled extensively to bolster global alliances, and played key roles in major bipartisan efforts — including immigration reform. Tributes have flooded in from across the political spectrum, honoring his unwavering commitment to freedom and security. His passing leaves a void in the Senate, with South Carolina’s governor to appoint a temporary replacement. Graham, unmarried and childless, is survived by his sister.
