Senator Lindsey Graham was remembered during memorial services in Washington as "a true American original". Former President Trump praised him as "a giant of the United States Senate" who left us too soon. Graham passed away suddenly on July 11 from a likely aortic tear at his home.
In the days leading up to his death, Graham had successfully garnered Trump's support for a bipartisan proposal aimed at imposing sanctions on Russia due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
