Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina died overnight at age 71 from what CNN described as a sudden, brief illness, according to initial reports. Emergency crews responded to his Washington, D.C., residence around 8:30 p.m. after calls about chest pain; despite CPR efforts, he was pronounced dead 25 minutes later. Graham was campaigning for a fifth Senate term in the upcoming midterm elections and had recently been a key supporter of aid to Israel and Ukraine, shifting from his earlier alliance with the late John McCain to backing Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. In response, Trump posted on Truth Social a tribute calling Graham one of the greatest senators and a true patriot who would be greatly missed.
