The longtime South Carolina
Republican senator died on July 11 from a brief illness, with his office
confirming cardiac arrest after he was taken to George Washington University
Hospital.
Fresh from meetings with Ukraine's Zelenskyy
to push Russia sanctions, Graham had served in the Senate since 2003 as a
military veteran and Trump ally known for hawkish foreign policy.
Tributes came from Trump, Netanyahu, and Zelenskyy, while online reactions split between praise for his patriotism and criticism over his Israel support; his office reported no foul play amid unverified poisoning speculation.
