US Senator Lindsey Graham dies after 'brief and sudden illness', his office says

[Davey Crockett]

These will perhaps be the most consequential midterm elections in modern US political history, no doubt.

We already have a 2026 Midterm election thread here on PDF.

Everyone in this session of Congress is on my bingo card.......The sooner they go, the better

It does feel like a throw the bums out wave is sweeping the nation. Whether it’s the voters or the grim reaper that does it…

By the way, it seems like Trump may want to put Nancy Mace or Ralph Norman into hold his seat for the rest of his term.

Btw, FOX News has the longest coverage on Graham’s passing, and considering their viewership demographics, and Graham’s age, the coverage will be interesting.

Israel lost a good friend and long term ally. I am sure their nation is in mourning.

As for the US he didn't do much. 71 is pretty young to go, I guess it all catches up....

Sometimes these stupid American politicians say some stupid sensational things against Muslims and Islam. I have noticed it as well.

The process varies by state​

While the U.S. Constitution requires vacancies to be filled, it gives states the authority to decide how that happens.

In 46 states, governors can appoint a temporary senator until voters elect a replacement.

Four states — Kentucky, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Wisconsin — require vacancies to be filled only through a special election, meaning the seat remains vacant until then.

In every state, voters eventually choose who serves the rest of the Senate term.

It’s sad Pakistan had to give this award to buy time, not even long term influence, but a small window for political maneuvering.

Failure to build long term national power keeps the nation vulnerable. The coming generation of American lawmakers/officials, many of whom will be veterans of Afghanistan will harbor animosity towards Pakistan.

Didn't this f#*ker recently say, "I don't trust Pakistan far as I can throw them."

Say 'Hi' to Dick Cheney while you're down in Hell, you Jew living prick.

This guy was more Jewish than the Jews themselves. There is a generation of Americans that need to go very very quickly. This generation is the architect and mastermind of much misery in the world today.

Israel lost a soulmate. No doubt.

Yeah, people can't wait for the mid-term to come, both the GOP and the Democratic bases

If Trump plays Mace or Norman, it will only rile up people more

And Fox, being Murdoch media, will sing their praise on Graham, even tho he did jack shit to our country

Good riddance of this war monger.

Senator Lindsey Graham’s involvement with the Jeffrey Epstein files primarily concerns his legislative actions, shifting public statements, and campaign finance ties.

Legislative ActionIn early 2024, Graham (as Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee) supported Senator Marsha Blackburn in pushing for subpoenas to the FBI and Epstein's estate to release unredacted flight logs and travel records.

Shifting Stances on the FilesBy mid-2025, Graham’s rhetoric shifted toward downplaying the controversy, suggesting that if there were significant revelations, they would have surfaced. However, he soon reversed course, advocating for maximum transparency and the release of all Epstein-related materials, urging the Justice Department to disclose the records.

Campaign ContributionsGraham has also faced scrutiny for accepting political donations from individuals linked to Epstein. Critics, including former political opponents, have called on Graham to refund campaign contributions he received from billionaire donors like Leon Black, who had financial dealings with Epstein.
