Who will replace Trump ally Lindsey Graham in the US Senate? 12.07.2026

The Republican majority in the U.S. Senate faces a temporary setback following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, from a "brief and sudden illness" late Saturday. Currently, Republicans hold 52 seats in the 100-member chamber, but South Carolina law grants Governor Henry McMaster the power to appoint a replacement immediately, without a set timeline. Graham's term was set to expire in January, and he was running for re-election in the November midterm vote, with a primary scheduled for August 11 and a potential run-off on August 25.
