Senator Graham, Trump Ally, Dies at 71 | Fayetteville News

Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in Washington and Trump’s most loyal Senate ally, has died at 71 from a sudden illness. A fierce defender of American military power and foreign intervention, Graham shaped U.S. policy for two decades, chaired key Senate committees, and traveled globally — including multiple trips to Ukraine — to support allies like Zelenskyy. Once at odds with Trump, he became his most vocal congressional backer, navigating partisan waters with unwavering conviction. Leaders from Israel to Ukraine mourn his legacy as a champion of freedom. With no children, he’s survived only by his sister; South Carolina’s governor will appoint a temporary replacement until January.
