Episode Details

Senator Lindsey Graham, the influential South Carolina Republican known for his fierce foreign policy advocacy and close alliance with Donald Trump, has died at 71 after a brief illness. A longtime Senate veteran who championed American global leadership and national defense, Graham traveled widely—including multiple trips to Ukraine—to support U.S. interests abroad. His deep ties to Trump, forged after a bitter 2016 primary, solidified during Trump’s presidency, and he remained a key foreign policy advisor. Graham’s legacy also includes strong support for Israel, earning praise from Prime Minister Netanyahu. With no children and no spouse, he leaves behind a Senate void as South Carolina’s governor appoints a temporary replacement until January, with a special election looming. Colleagues and global leaders remember him as a tireless public servant whose voice shaped U.S. diplomacy for decades.
