Live: What we know so far about the death of Lindsey Graham

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham died overnight. He was 71. •

Senator Lindsey Graham has died on Saturday evening following a "brief and sudden illness." He was 71.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. What an extraordinary adventure his life was — rising from the simple, humble beginnings of the Sanitary Café in Central, South Carolina, where his family ran a restaurant, bar, and pool hall, to becoming one of the strongest and most courageous statesmen of our time and a truly solid friend. After losing his parents at a young age, he heroically stepped forward to care for his younger sister, a testament to the quiet resilience that defined his remarkable journey. • • As a longtime Senator, Lindsey was a tireless champion of strong national defense, a key leader on the Senate Judiciary and Budget Committees, and a steadfast advocate for robust American alliances and security partnerships around the world. I was personally honored to host him in Ankara for NATO this past week for several wonderful lunches and dinners with a cadre of high-level foreign officials, cabinet members, and other Senators and Congressmen. He spoke with elegance, eloquence, and directness — never hesitant to share what he thought, whether praising what we were doing right or candidly noting where improvements were needed. We will all miss him, and his extraordinary contributions will remain his lasting legacy. • • My thoughts are with his family, his dedicated staff, and the people of South Carolina during this difficult time.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham Dead at 71

Today, Ukraine has lost a true friend, and America has lost one of its best sons. Senator Lindsey Graham was one of those American politicians who was not afraid to call a spade a spade. He consistently supported Ukraine in its most difficult times, advocated for military assistance, called for tough sanctions against Russia, and reminded the world that freedom has a price. His support was not limited to statements. He repeatedly visited Ukraine and met with our military and state leadership, personally saw the consequences of Russian aggression, and did everything to ensure that Ukraine's voice was heard in Washington. Just a day before his death, he was in Kyiv again, confirming his unwavering position in supporting Ukraine. The memory of friends is measured not by words, but by deeds. Lindsey Graham was a friend of Ukraine precisely by his deeds. I had the honor of knowing him. Sincere condolences to the family, loved ones, the American people, and everyone who knew and worked with Lindsey Graham. May your memory be blessed.

Per a source familiar, “With Lindsey Graham’s sudden passing, Governor McMaster may appoint Joe Wilson in his place. Wilson is most senior on SC delegation and his son is expected to become the next governor.”

Possibly the last footage of Senator Lindsey Graham speaking before his death was after his Kyiv meeting with Zelensky on Friday: • • "We've reached an agreement with the White House on a version of the Russian sanction bill that they will support. • • When I get back to Washington, I'm going to go to the Republican and the Democratic leaders to see if we can find time to move this Russian sanctions package that will give tools to President Trump to help end this war." • • Writer: Mhedi • •
