## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, the influential South Carolina Republican who served in the Senate for two decades and recently secured his sixth term nomination, has died at 71 from a sudden illness. His passing triggers an urgent scramble to fill his seat: Governor Henry McMaster will appoint a temporary replacement until the 2026 general election, while a special election looms for November, pitting Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews against the appointee. With the Senate’s Republican majority already thin, this sudden vacancy could dramatically shift South Carolina’s political tides — and President Trump’s rumored pick for the interim role adds to the intrigue as top GOP figures weigh in.
