WASHINGTON — South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham died on July 11, according to his office. He was 71.

A statement posted to his social media account said he "passed away from a brief and sudden illness" and that "Senator Graham's family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period."

Graham's death marks the passing of a longtime conservative fixture of the Senate, and one of President Donald Trump's closest political allies.

In his more than three decades in Washington, Graham played major roles in crafting key pieces of legislation, affecting millions of Americans' lives, while also developing a reputation as a stark foreign policy hawk. The Republican died just a year after helping shepherd through the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act as the powerful chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
