A funeral service for former Sen. Lindsey Graham was held at the Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday, with President Trump, lawmakers, and family members in attendance to honor the late South Carolina senator’s life and legacy.
President Trump delivered a eulogy at the service, describing Graham as a “beloved friend” and “American original,” and stating that “he was a force of nature, and I will miss him greatly.” The service reflected on Graham’s long career in the Senate, during which he worked with both political allies and former political adversaries.
Graham died unexpectedly after a visit to Ukraine earlier in the month. Sources note that memorial services were held to commemorate his passing, bringing together members of Congress and political figures from across the spectrum to pay their respects.
