International Desk.- <\/strong>U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, passed away on Saturday afternoon at the age of 71 after suffering a “brief and sudden illness,” his office confirmed this Sunday on the social network X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On the night of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away following a brief and sudden illness. Senator Graham’s family appreciates the prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” detailed the office of the until-now senator for South Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro-Israel and anti-Iran<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Just a few weeks ago, Trump had endorsed Graham’s reelection campaign for the November midterm elections, in which the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate will be up for renewal, which could alter the balance of power in Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham won his party’s primary in June for the November race against businessman Mark Lynch, after receiving Trump’s endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, Trump highlighted on his network, Truth Social, his political and personal relationship with Graham, one of the president’s most loyal Republicans, at a time when several members of the party have questioned the costs of the war with Iran for American taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham \u201cis working incredibly hard for the great people of South Carolina, a state I love and won by a lot in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Lindsey has been a great friend and has always been there when I needed him (\u2026). Lindsey Graham has my complete and total endorsement for reelection,\u201d the president wrote at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senator was serving his fourth consecutive six-year term in the Senate and was one of the toughest Republican voices on Iran and most supportive of Israel.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
