Live updates: Nation mourns Lindsey Graham after senator’s sudden death

Americans woke on Sunday to the shocking news that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who served in the upper chamber for more than two decades, died after a “brief and sudden illness.” He was 71.

President Trump, who counted on Graham as a fierce supporter, described the late GOP lawmaker as “one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known” in a post on his social media platform. He said “details and arrangements” will follow.

Graham was scheduled to appear on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to join the show instead to pay tribute to the long-time senator, moderator Kristen Welker announced on the social platform X.
