For decades, Senator Lindsey Graham answered the call to serve our nation with unwavering conviction and a deep love for the people of South Carolina.

I will always be grateful for the opportunity to work alongside him in strengthening the country we both love.

Please keep his family, loved ones, and all who knew him in your prayers. May God surround them with His peace.

Devastated to hear about the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. I’ve worked with Senator Graham throughout my career, but got to know him closer in 2024 while campaigning for President Trump. It was an honor to see first-hand his service, passion, and commitment to the security of our country. His belief in the American people and our strength as a country will not be forgotten. He will be sorely missed.

This is how a decent human behaves when someone passes away

So many need to take note.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”

I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter.

As heartbreaking as his sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream every day. Very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there, with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do — that was every moment for Lindsey.

When President Trump won in Nov 2024, Lindsey was exultant. Elated. And determined. He couldn’t wait to spearhead work, as the Budget Chairman, on the reconciliation bill that would cement President Trump’s most important campaign promises. I’ll never forget the senate lunch, when a couple Senators were a tad off the program, and Lindsey — in his inimitable way — made sure everyone was onside by the time we left. It was a glorious thing to witness. He knew how to move a room.

Lindsey was a senator’s senator. The job was everything to him. Truly did he believe in the splendor of the office and the noble lineage behind it, of which he was the worthy heir.

He was a senator in the mold of those who fashioned the institution, someone who still had the ability, in a heated exchange, to use rhetorical power to change the course of events.

Which is why we will never forget his legendary Kavanaugh moment. We rarely think that we are out of time with our friends, so while there is a lot more I wish I could have said to Lindsey, I am glad that more than once I told him what that moment meant to the whole nation and why he was the only Senator who could have done it with such utter perfection.

Most importantly, I had the chance to tell him on many occasions what his friendship meant to me and to us all. There was never once a time he didn’t answer a phone call and lend whatever assistance was required. It was never a question with Lindsey. He believed deeply in the code of friendship and loyalty.

The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people.

There is a lot more I would like to say. His passing, at a time when he had never been more dynamic, is as unexpected as it is shocking. In many respects, Lindsey was the last of a breed of American Senator whose like we may not yet see again for a long time.

He lived every minute in the arena, a political gladiator to the very last.

More than anything now, our thoughts are with his Sister, nieces and loved ones.

We pray that God will ease their sorrow and heal their pain.

Lindsey can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.

Godspeed, my friend.

We cannot care more about Europeans’ defense than they do. And we certainly can’t wait until they choose to do so. @POTUS has ushered in a needed rethinking of how the U.S. works strategically with our allies, as I discuss with @ChanelRion on @OANN @A1Policy

[Ashley Hayek @ashleyhayek]

The Dems aren’t ditching Graham Platner because of his millionth scandal. They’re doing it because they realized he won’t win.

Like I said last month, Democrats have made it abundantly clear that they’re willing to sacrifice their ‘values’ in order to win.

They were fine with Platner:
- Having a Nazi tattoo
- Mocking a Purple Heart hero
- Cheating on his wife
- Abusing his ex-girlfriend
- Blaming rape victims
- Using an app for pedophiles
- Fantasizing about raping people
- Praising Hamas
- Being a self-proclaimed communist

The only thing that changed is their internal polling.

In honor of my mother, Flora Klein, who at 14 years of age was in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, I will be at the White House July 4th honoring our veterans from WW II July 4th. Alongside me, will be 10 surviving WW II veterans. God bless our veterans.

Joining @MarkReardonKFTK in the 4pm ET hour to talk latest on Iran and Middle East. Tune in! @A1Policy

[Jacob Olidort @JOlidort]

For the Iranian regime, Hezbollah is existential. The end of Iran’s threats, and a new Middle East, begins in Beirut. See my discussion with @FoxNews on these points ⬇️

[Jacob Olidort @JOlidort]

My discussion w/ @FoxNews on Iran and Lebanon. My takeaways:
📌For Iran, nuclear is aspirational whereas Hezbollah is existential.
📌The path to definitively end Iran’s threats now proceeds through Lebanon, w/focus on Hezbollah @A1Policy

The U.S. is proud to be a part of today's historic trilateral framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon.

There is more work to be done, but we're taking meaningful steps toward a future of peace, prosperity, and mutual coexistence.
