Senator Lindsey Graham: 1955–2026
The long-serving Republican, South Carolina's senior U.S. Senator, passed away on July 11th, 2026, due to an aortic dissection. He was known for his controversial stance on issues and close ties with Donald Trump, which came after he bluntly disavowed Trump before the 2016 presidential election. His death could seriously impact floor and committee dynamics in the United States Senate, leading to potential challenges for Republicans as they try to move their agenda before the midterms.

Washington’s Republican legislators keep showing everyone that they are running on empty and unworthy of people’s trust
In this open letter to Republican state lawmakers like Senator Judy Warnick, NPI's founder asks why they are fixated on suspending a law that voters already told them overwhelmingly they don't want to overturn, instead of belatedly standing up to Donald Trump.
