July 12 ~ U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has died unexpectedly at the age of 71. His office issued a statement saying the Senator’s death was sudden and unexpected. Graham served in the US Senate for over two decades, making a name for himself as a foreign policy hawk who advocated for military intervention in Iran and Iraq and was a leading voice for the unwavering US support for Israel and Ukraine. His political career was intrinsically connected to his close relationship to two giants in the Republican Party: first with the late-Sen. John McCain of Arizona and then with President Donald Trump.
