Lindsey Graham had a sharp political mind. He understood how Washington worked & was laser-focused on the Senate majority. That institutional knowledge is one of the biggest losses from his passing. Senator Graham wasn’t a hardliner, but he knew exactly how to bridge both sides & get things done...

President Trump loved and respected Lindsey Graham, and the feeling was mutual. They went from political rivals to golf buddies. They understood you don’t have to agree on everything to stand shoulder-to-shoulder for America. Lindsey could be mercurial, but I respect that he fought hard for President Trump’s agenda. I’ll always be grateful he backed me in my Senate race. He didn’t care how MAGA I was, he wanted a strong senate majority

🚨 UPDATE: Vice President JD Vance reveals he got into a shouting match with Lindsey Graham while in the Senate — then, the very next day, learned Graham was pushing legislation very important to Vance behind the scenes "That was Lindsey Graham. He fought like hell for the things he believed in, and he was just as willing to go to bat for you when it counted." 🇺🇸 "Lindsey had the best sense of humor in the Senate. He loved the game of politics. He was constantly asking which races were up and down, and how he could help. As he liked to say, 'I don't care if you're an isolationist or a religious fanatic, so long as you have an R next to your name, I want you to win.'"

Senator Lindsey Graham allegedly flew to Israel to coach its leadership on how to sell the Iran strikes to President Trump. Lindsey Graham thinks he knows how to work President Trump. Regardless of whether this was the right call, let me suggest that any sitting US Senator who thinks he can coach any foreign country on how to manipulate the president and America's foreign policy to his liking, is not your friend.

Senator Tim Scott was visibly emotional on CNN as he remembered his friend and fellow South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. SCOTT: “Well, Jake, gosh, America’s lost a true statesman.” “We don’t have many left. But he was a true statesman.” “But I’ve lost a friend. It is a morning of mourning for me.” “It’s a powerful reminder that life is fleeting, that we are not here very long.” “If I were to tell stories about Lindsey Graham, one of the most important stories is that when I was a new senator, he welcomed me in.” “He knew that my path was different. He understood the power of change in South Carolina and how much our state had changed. But he was one of the first folks in the Senate to welcome me in with open arms.” “And I will say that I do a South Carolina Prayer Breakfast every year in D.C. And I called Lindsey the first time, and Lindsey said, ‘Tim, if this thing starts before 10 A.M., I’m not coming because I’m not going—even if Jesus comes back before 10 A.M.’” “And I just laughed out loud. And of course, it started at 8:30. And who walked in the door at 8:31? Lindsey Graham.” “He was just the kind of committed person that you don’t really appreciate how committed he was to America.” “I can’t think of a more committed public servant to this country.”

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott honors the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, remembering him as a relentless statesman who dedicated his entire life to the nation. “You could count on Lindsey being there for his friends. And the good news for America, Lindsey saw this nation as a part of his family, and he worked night and day.” “Lindsey Graham, he was not a self-made person.

GROSS: Tapper leverages the death of Lindsey Graham into a subtle "where's Mitch" gotcha attempt with Tim Scott, which is immediately rebuffed JAKE TAPPER: So, the Senate reconvenes tomorrow. Senator Graham was taken to the same hospital where Senator Mitch McConnell is currently recovering from his health issues. It's a tough time for Senate Republicans right now. TIM SCOTT: Well, it's a time for prayer for those folks who are ailing. There's no doubt about it, that Senator McConnell deserves our prayers. He served our country valiantly and and continues to be in good spirits from all that I've heard. I texted him over the weekend, I will simply say that we have a lot of work to get done, and we'll get our work done, but we certainly will miss Lindsey Graham. And as we focus on the next few weeks in the Senate, we'll take a step back and remember that we're all human. In fact, we all have families. We all are just there trying to serve the greatest country on the planet, and we'll get the work done. But in the next 48 hours and probably beyond, we'll spend time celebrating the life of Lindsey Graham, mourning the loss of Lindsey Graham, but understanding why he was so important to America, and hopefully doubling down on keeping Americans safe here at home and anywhere we travel.

Walkinshaw on FBI Director Kash Patel’s statements regarding Lindsey Graham and the deployment of FBI agents to Lindsey Graham’s residence: Kash Patel is a clown and a conspiracy theorist. That’s how he got the job, by the way—by being a clown and a conspiracy theorist. And what he did here with respect to Lindsey Graham was irresponsible. There’s no reason to believe, and no evidence, that Senator Graham’s death was anything but an untimely, unexpected death from natural causes.

Bill O’Reilly pulls back the curtain on President Trump and Senator Lindsey Graham’s relationship behind the scenes. O’Reilly revealed that he once sat in on a phone call where Graham made his case to Trump on Ukraine...but Trump wasn’t convinced. O’REILLY: “I was on a phone call…I guess I shouldn’t even say this…but I was on a phone call with Graham and the president.” “About a year ago, I think. And they were talking about Putin and Ukraine. And Ukraine obsessed Lindsey Graham.” “I didn’t say much on that call. My job isn’t to butt in. My job is to assess information.” “Trump listened to what Senator Graham said, but he didn’t buy it.” “So it wasn’t like Graham would come in there and say, ‘Hey, Mr. President, you got to do this,’ and Trump would jump up and do it.” “That’s not what that relationship was built on.” “Trump wanted to hear the hard-power point of view.”

Once when a donor asked, “Senator Graham why are you helping Blake, given how much you two disagree on foreign policy?” he replied with a grin: “So Blake’s wrong about Ukraine... who gives a shit? We aren’t here to talk about how correct I am all the time, we’re here to talk about getting the Senate majority. Because I want to be chairman of my committees!” Lindsey was cheerful and determined and he understood that he played a team sport. May his memory be eternal.

If you needed anything, you called Lindsey Graham. There was no problem he couldn't fix. He left behind a legacy. A family man who raised his sister as his own. A mentor who taught half of South Carolina's delegation how to survive Washington. A friend who never let politics get in the way of showing up for people. He had no enemy he wouldn't hug. He could tear you apart on the Senate floor and tell you a joke an hour later. He is irreplaceable.

WATCH: Jake Tapper's TDS-soaked summation of Lindsey Graham's career to open State of the Union. Trump Derangement pauses for no one, not even for a senator's death. JAKE TAPPER: Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, has died at age 71 after what's being described as a brief and sudden illness. The chairman of the Senate Budget Committee was one of the most powerful and best-known senators. A former Trump critic turned fervent ally, a foreign policy hawk and interventionalist who frequently met with the leaders of Israel and Ukraine, where he was just visiting. Overnight, President Trump called Senator Graham, quote, “one of the greatest people and Senators I've ever known”, unquote. And it was Graham's relationship with the president that dominated the later part of his life, the last decade. A former protege of the late Senator John McCain, Lindsey Graham ran for president against Trump in 2016, called Trump, quote, “unfit for office” and much more. LINDSEY GRAHAM: You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell. TAPPER: But after Trump's election, Graham affixed himself to the president, becoming a frequent golf partner and confidante. He referred to himself as The President's North Star. He hoped to influence the president on the issues. GRAHAM: Mr. President, I will be your strongest ally in the United States Senate. TAPPER: One area, of course, where that didn't work is the January 6th riot. In the aftermath, Graham famously said he was done with President Trump. GRAHAM: From my point of view, he's been a consequential president. But today, first thing you'll see- all I can say is, count me out. Enough is enough. TAPPER: He and the president later reconciled. Graham, explaining his actions as a desire to continue to be relevant and to influence policy and the country. Before Trump, Graham and his dear friend John McCain were known as Senate mavericks. Graham bucked his party to vote for comprehensive immigration reform, climate change legislation, and two of President Obama's Supreme Court nominees. But that was all before 2016. Graham had been a JAG attorney in the Air Force before he ran for office and continued to serve in the Air Force Reserves, even as a Senator. The Senator never married. He had a difficult time as a young adult, his parents dying with. Within about 15 months when Graham was in college. He then helped to raise his 13-year-old sister, Darlene. He later adopted her. CNN is learning that around 8:30 PM last night, dispatchers reported a 911 call about chest pains linked to Graham's residence. Emergency crew members had to initiate a forced entry into the home, and a dispatcher later said the crew was performing CPR.
