Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., likely died on Saturday from a tear in his aorta, officials said, hours after returning to the United States from Ukraine and months before he was to face reelection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Graham\u2019s office said Sunday that a preliminary report from Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Washington indicated that the senator had died from an aortic dissection, though that determination was subject to additional testing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Graham, who was chair of the Budget Committee and formerly led the Judiciary Committee, became a household name in Republican politics and was among President Donald Trump\u2019s closest and most loyal allies in the Senate. He died two days after his 71st birthday, and as he was seeking a fifth term.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A former Air Force lawyer who had served in the Air Force Reserve, Graham also developed a reputation as a foreign policy hawk who vehemently defended Israel and Ukraine. Hours before he died, the senator had returned to Washington after a trip to Ukraine, where he said he had reached agreement with colleagues in both parties and the White House on imposing sanctions targeting buyers of Russian oil.<\/span><\/p>\n
