Graham’s Passing Shakes U.S. Politics | Global News

US Senator Lindsey Graham, a key Republican voice in foreign policy and longtime Trump ally, died at 71 from an aortic dissection linked to cardiovascular disease. Known for his staunch support of military action and recent trip to Ukraine, Graham drew global condolences from leaders like Zelensky and Netanyahu, who praised his defense of freedom and shared security ties. Despite past criticisms of Trump, Graham later backed his policies on borders, courts, and foreign strikes — including Soleimani’s killing. With his seat now vacant, South Carolina’s governor will appoint a temporary replacement ahead of November’s Senate elections, a pivotal moment as both parties battle for control.
