Senator Graham Honored in Capitol Tribute | Oakland News

Senator Lindsey Graham, the influential South Carolina senator who died suddenly at 71, is being honored with a private Capitol ceremony followed by a high-profile funeral at Washington National Cathedral, attended by global leaders and political heavyweights including President Trump. Known for his bipartisan pragmatism, persuasive charm, and steadfast national security stance, Graham’s legacy includes a dramatic political evolution with Trump and his pivotal role in advancing a bipartisan Ukraine sanctions package — a final tribute lawmakers hope to pass swiftly. A decorated Air Force veteran and son of pool hall owners, he’ll be buried in South Carolina, with his sister Darline stepping into his Senate seat and running in the upcoming election.
