TL;DR

US Senator Lindsey Graham died at 71 from an aortic dissection linked to cardiovascular disease, per a preliminary finding by the DC medical examiner; the death certificate is pending further toxicology and microscopic tests. Graham, a longtime ally of Trump and a prominent foreign‑policy voice, had just returned from Kyiv and had met President Zelensky. His death triggers a temporary Senate vacancy in South Carolina, with a replacement to be appointed by the governor and a final choice expected in November.
