Known for his hardline foreign policy, Graham shaped Trump’s global strategy on Iran and Russia, and played a pivotal role in advancing major legislation during Trump’s second term. A key architect of U.S. diplomacy, he recently met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, hailed as a defender of freedom, and brokered new sanctions against Russia. Graham’s legacy spans immigration reform, judicial appointments—including confirming Amy Coney Barrett—and his ability to bridge political divides. His death leaves a Senate vacancy, with South Carolina’s governor set to appoint a temporary replacement, followed by a special election. Colleagues from both parties praised his tenacity, relationships, and unwavering loyalty to the president—even when they disagreed.
