A decorated Air Force colonel and former state lawmaker, Graham was campaigning for his fifth Senate term when he fell ill. Tributes poured in from across the political spectrum, with President Trump calling him a patriot, Senate Leader John Thune praising him as a trusted colleague, and Governor Henry McMaster honoring him as an irreplaceable champion for his state. McMaster will appoint a temporary replacement, with a GOP primary scheduled for August to select the nominee for the November election. Graham, who rose from humble roots in Central, South Carolina, is survived by his sister and two nieces. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
