Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Graham’s final conversation was about his schedule, not his health. He prioritized his TV appearance over seeking medical attention. The person he spoke to pushed him to get medical help, but Graham delayed. His last words were about his unfinished business, including Russia sanctions and Israeli-Saudi normalization. The sudden death of a senator is a familiar scene in American politics. The scramble for his seat and the impact on Trump’s agenda are already underway.
