‘A Tough One to Lose’: Reactions to the Death of Sen. Lindsey Graham

“We have lost a gentleman from an older era of civility and selflessness.” So wrote Harmeet K. Dhillon, deputy attorney general for Civil Rights on the surprise death of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Graham, a Republican, died Saturday evening at the age of 71 after what his office called a “brief and sudden illness.” His death sent shockwaves across Washington, South Carolina, and indeed the world.

The Vice President Shares a Story

“We certainly had our disagreements. But I couldn’t help but like him,” Vice President JD Vance posted on X. “A one of a kind figure in our politics”.

Vance shared a story about an encounter with Graham while a freshman senator from Ohio.

Early in my Senate tenure, I remember getting into a shouting match with Lindsey about a Ukraine funding bill at lunch and then learning the very next day that he was pushing rail legislation I really cared about behind the scenes. That was Lindsey Graham. He fought like hell for the things he believed in, and he was just as willing to go to bat for you when it counted
