Senator Lindsey Graham, who died on July 12 at age 71 from an aortic dissection, received a lying-in-state ceremony at the Capitol followed by a memorial at Washington National Cathedral. President Trump delivered the eulogy, sharing stories of their bond, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him one of Israel’s greatest friends and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted his support for Ukraine. Tributes from Vice President JD Vance, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and others highlighted Graham’s mentorship, patriotism, and influence on foreign policy toward Iran, Israel, and Ukraine. Video moments from the service, like Trump tapping the casket and sharing Tic Tacs, drew online attention amid the grief.
