Senator Graham passed away Saturday night following a brief illness. His office released a statement expressing gratitude for prayers and requesting privacy for his family during this difficult period. Graham’s political career began with his election to the House of Representatives in 1994, followed by his election to the Senate in 2002.
He was reportedly planning to seek re-election for the Senate seat in the upcoming November elections. The senator was known for his association with former President Trump, although disagreements occasionally arose, particularly concerning foreign policy matters. Throughout his tenure, he also held the leadership role of the Senate’s budget committee.
Recently, Lindsey Graham and Bob Menendez were visiting Slovenia. Prior to his passing, Senator Graham returned from Kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday.
