Senator Lindsey Graham (1955–2026): A Life in Review
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) died suddenly on July 11, 2026, at age 71. A summary of his life, his record on religious freedom and persecuted Christians, his hawkish foreign-policy record on Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and Iran, his role in the Kavanaugh and Barrett Supreme Court confirmations, his relationship with President Trump across both terms (from fierce 2016 critic to close ally), his conservative record, and the bipartisan immigration and gun bills that drew criticism from fellow conservatives.
