Graham’s Death Tests Trump’s Grip as Senate Tilt Shifts
TL;DR Summary
Sen. Lindsey Graham’s death narrows the GOP Senate majority to about 51 seats, complicating budget and confirmation dynamics ahead of the midterms. South Carolina will appoint a temporary replacement with a GOP primary to decide a nominee, and Trump has hinted at backing a candidate. Graham’s hawkish, Ukraine‑focused stance shaped policy, so his absence could affect debates over Ukraine aid and defense spending while Republicans navigate the election landscape.
