• Longtime Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina died on Saturday night at age 71 following a "brief and sudden illness." • A former Air Force lawyer, Graham served in Congress for three decades and previously led the Senate Judiciary Committee during the 2020 confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett. • His passing is a significant loss for the GOP, as he was positioned to regain the Judiciary Committee gavel and had pledged to prioritize the confirmation of conservative judges.
