President Trump on Tuesday attended Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral at Washington National Cathedral.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are in Washington DC for the funeral.
Lindsey Graham died earlier this month after a brief, sudden illness.
The South Carolina Senator just turned 71 on July 9.
“The preliminary examination findings were: Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease,” Graham’s office said, according to the medical examiner.
Toward the end of Lindsey Graham’s memorial service, President Trump handed Tic Tac mints to JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
WATCH:
Senator Darline Graham (R-SC) last Monday announced she is running for a full Senate term to replace her brother Lindsey Graham.
“I’ve made a decision,” Darline Graham told Fox New host Sean Hannity. “I’m in.”
“I have been praying a lot, talking to my family… I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely,” she said.
President Trump endorsed Darline Graham earlier this month:
It was my Honor to welcome now Senator Darline Graham Nordone (The sister of the Late, Great Lindsey Graham!), from the Wonderful State of South Carolina, into the Oval Office.
We have known each other for a long time — She is a spectacular person, and a true American Patriot. Lindsey was one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, and his sister shares his deep love of our Country, and the State of South Carolina.
During her visit, I asked Darline, for the Good of our Nation, to run for the U.S. Senate in the Special Republican Primary on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
I hope Darline does this, in that there would be nobody better to honor the legacy of her beloved brother, Lindsey.
Darline, who comes from an absolutely incredible family, has been a WINNER all of her life and, should she accept, has my Complete and Total Endorsement in the Special Election for U.S. Senate in South Carolina — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. RUN, DARLINE, RUN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
