Senator Lindsey Graham Dies of Aortic Rupture
Death of key GOP Senator impacts Senate majority and GOP agenda.
Event Overview
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham died at age 71 due to an aortic rupture caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Reports indicate he declined immediate medical attention hours before his death to focus on geopolitical goals and his relationship with Donald Trump. His passing reduces the Republican Senate majority to 51 voting members, especially with Senator Mitch McConnell hospitalized. Governor Henry McMaster can appoint a temporary replacement in South Carolina before a special primary election on August 11.
