Sen. Lindsey Graham, the 71-year-old South Carolina Republican known for his hawkish views on military spending, Israel, and Ukraine, died on July 11, 2026, from an aortic dissection shortly after a trip to Ukraine. At the nearly three-hour service in Washington National Cathedral, Trump recounted Graham’s humble start running a family bar and pool hall after being orphaned young, while raising his sister and serving 33 years in the Air Force. Attendees included Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Fox News host Sean Hannity, who praised Graham as a ‘force of nature’; social media clips showed Trump offering Tic Tacs and closing his eyes, sparking divided views on the human moments.
