Lindsey Graham, a prominent Republican senator in the United States and a key ally of President Donald Trump, has died aged 71.
Graham passed away on Saturday evening after a brief and sudden illness, the communications director for his office said in a post on X early Sunday.
“Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” his office added.
Graham was elected to the US Senate in 2002 and was re-elected in 2008, 2014 and 2020. In 1994, he served in the US House of Representatives, the lower house of the US Congress, for South Carolina’s third congressional district.
He recently served as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Graham also served as a member of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
He was a strong supporter of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and had long pushed for military action against Iran.
“Graham has consistently pushed for outcomes in the War on Terror that protect our long-term national security interests,” read his website.
He was a strong supporter of Israel and backed Trump’s ongoing war on Iran.
Israel’s Defence Ministry said on Sunday morning it was saddened by the death of Graham, “who stood with Israel in its most difficult time”.
In 2016, he ran for the Republican nomination but dropped out before the primaries began, having been an outspoken critic of Trump. He later became one of his staunchest allies in Congress.
Before entering politics, Graham served for more than six years as an air force lawyer and then, in 1995, joined the air force reserves, where he stayed for 20 years. He retired at the rank of colonel.

‘Tributes continue to pour in for Ann Widdicombe’, but the comments I’ve seen about Graham have been 100% negative. Funny that!
(M)ann Widdecombe? Just take a real close look. I can’t believe anyone on here is believing anything about this case.
On a similar theme, Catherine Zeta Jones was interviewed by Talk Radio after the announcement of her death and she said, “Tyler sung that song (Total Eclipse) the only way it should be sung, with balls.” They are telling you to your face what these people are, if you listen carefully enough and isn’t a baby boy often describes as being a ‘bonnie’ little lad or is that just coincidence?
I suppose you could call it the ultimate Elensky Curse.
The move against Widdecombe shows that the system has decided they don’t want Farage winning an election prior to WW3 breaking out. Left wing Marxist governments are easier for the bankers to control.
There is a very interesting article on RT about this monster and some of the comments are thought-provoking. Apparently he didn’t have enough time to get back to the US when he died and readers surmise that he was killed by a
Russian bomb whilst inspecting a munitions factory in Kiev. This will never be admitted and his coffin will be closed so that nobody can see the damage inflicted.
Rather like Lloyd Austin; although the Russians sent samples of his DNA to Washington, it was never admitted that he was taken out by a Russian bomb.
According to Wiki L Austin is still alive? Yes I know, it’s only Wiki but still, wouldn’t his family miss him?
Maybe he’s just another character in the game and never existed as anything other than an actor. Bit of a continuity error there nevertheless
When you receive enough money and have been threatened with all sorts of nasties if you open your mouth, you’ll go along with the story.
Makes sense, it’s not as if he’d be the only one to have disappeared to another life is it
Think of Sandy Hook.
