Senator Lindsey Graham, the legendary Senate dealmaker and national security hawk, is being honored with a grand state funeral in Washington D.C., where his casket was carried by an armed forces honor guard—a nod to his military roots. Vice President JD Vance called him a “swashbuckling true American original,” as lawmakers and global allies gathered to celebrate a career that spanned three decades, bridged party lines, and shaped U.S. policy from Ukraine sanctions to global diplomacy. His final major legislative push—bipartisan sanctions against Russia—may now be fast-tracked as a tribute. Graham will be laid to rest in South Carolina, where Joint Base Charleston will bear his name, and his sister Darline will take his Senate seat in a historic transition.
