Graham Honored with D.C. and SC Ceremonies | Austin News

Senator Lindsey Graham, who died at 71 from an aortic dissection just days after returning from a trip to Ukraine, will be honored with ceremonies in D.C. on July 28 and in his home state of South Carolina on July 29 — with exact locations still pending. His office delayed finalizing funeral plans to ensure global and national leaders could attend, with the D.C. service likely followed swiftly by the South Carolina event. A longtime Senate fixture known for his national security expertise, Graham’s legacy is being celebrated widely, including with tributes from politicians across the aisle. In a major move, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has appointed Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, to temporarily fill his Senate seat until the November election, with the winner taking office in January.
