US Senator Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, has died following a “brief and sudden illness” at the age of 71. His office announced the death on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday.
The Republican senator had served in the Senate since 2003 and was a prominent ally of Donald Trump. Graham’s passing follows what his office described as a short period of illness; no further details regarding the cause of death have been released.
Graham was known for his conservative stance on many issues, and had become a staunch supporter of Trump during and after his presidency. Sky News identified him specifically as a “Trump ally.” The New York Post noted he died at age 71.
No right-leaning outlets beyond the New York Post appear to have reported this story. Left-leaning sources such as Bloomberg and Sky News, along with the New York Post, all report the same core facts regarding Graham’s death and his role as a US Senator and Trump supporter; there is no divergence in reporting.
The immediate next steps following Graham's death are not specified in the available reports.
