Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, passed away on Saturday evening at the age of 71 following a brief and sudden illness. His office reported that preliminary findings indicated his death was due to an aortic dissection, a serious condition involving a tear in the aorta.
Graham was elected to the Senate in 2002 and had a long career in politics, previously serving in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was known for his strong stances on foreign policy, advocating for military intervention and support for allies such as Ukraine and Israel.
His death has prompted tributes from various political figures and foreign leaders, highlighting his role in shaping U.S. foreign policy. Graham had recently returned from a trip to Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shortly before his passing.
Graham's passing may impact the Republican majority in the Senate and the upcoming midterm elections, as the party will need to quickly appoint a replacement.
