Senator Lindsey Graham dies unexpectedly after sudden illness
Well, this was not on the political bingo card. Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the most inescapable figures in American politics for the last few decades, has passed away.
His office dropped the news late Saturday, saying he died after a brief and sudden illness. No long hospital stay, no warning, just gone.
For anyone who has watched US politics over the last twenty years, Graham was basically part of the furniture. He was the ultimate political chameleon, famously transitioning from John McCain's absolute best friend and partner-in-snark to one of Donald Trump's most loyal golf buddies and defenders. The sheer suddenness of his death has caught the entire political establishment completely off guard. Congress is going to look very different without him constantly whispering to reporters in the hallways.
The race to see who can write the most complicated eulogy is officially on.
