Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Sen. Lindsey Graham’s death marks the end of a long congressional career. His life was marked by a dramatic change when his parents died within 15 months of each other, leaving him to raise his younger sister. He went on to serve in the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General’s Corps and later entered politics. Graham’s high-profile role in President Bill Clinton’s impeachment helped establish him as a rising conservative voice on Capitol Hill. He became one of the Senate’s most influential Republicans on national security and a leading voice on military affairs, judicial confirmations, and U.S. foreign policy. His relationship with Trump underwent a notable transformation from criticism to close alliance.
