Senator Graham Dies at 71 | Perth News
Description
US Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering Republican voice in Washington, has died at 71 from an aortic dissection linked to arterial hardening. President Trump called it a sudden, natural illness, not foul play, and ordered flags flown at half-staff in his honor. Graham’s passing tightens GOP control in the Senate to a razor-thin 51 votes, as fellow Senator Mitch McConnell is also hospitalized. Known for his fierce defense of Israel and Ukraine, and his opposition to Iran, Graham earned global respect — including heartfelt tributes from Zelenskiy and Netanyahu. His seat will be temporarily filled by South Carolina’s governor, with a special primary in August to choose the November nominee — a Democrat also in the race. From impeaching Clinton to backing Kavanaugh, Graham’s legacy spans decades of bold, uncompromising leadership.
