New Facts: Trump Eulogizes Lindsey Graham at Funeral

On Tuesday in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump delivered the main eulogy at the funeral of Sen. Lindsey Graham, the longtime Republican from South Carolina who died earlier in July 2026. The service drew U.S. and international dignitaries.

Trump praised Graham as "an American original" and highlighted his long Senate career and national security focus. Tributes described him as a central player in Washington over many years.

Lawmakers from both parties, senior administration officials, and visiting world leaders attended to pay respects. The large gathering reflected Graham’s wide relationships at home and abroad.

Graham died unexpectedly earlier this month, shortly after a visit to Ukraine. He was remembered for his foreign policy engagement and frequent travel to conflict zones.

This was the first of two days of funeral services. A second day of memorial events will follow.
