Graham’s Legacy and Trump’s Tribute | Seattle News

Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden passing has sent shockwaves through Washington, with President Trump paying heartfelt tribute on Meet the Press, recalling their unlikely bond forged from rivalry to alliance.

Trump hinted at a successor but declined to name one, underscoring the gravity of this unexpected and profound loss.
