• Graham’s death willshake the Senate and November election. South Carolina’s governor can appoint a temporary replacement, but because Graham was up for reelection this year, there will also be a sprint primary election to replace him on the ballot.

Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal urged the Senate to pass his bipartisan Russia sanctions package as a “fitting tribute” to his co-sponsor, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Blumenthal recalled a “lengthy” conversation with Graham after the pair reached a deal with the Trump administration to move forward with sanctions legislation that they have been pushing for more than a year. “This is a big effing deal – we all did good,” Blumenthal recalled Graham saying to him.

“When we last spoke, he was as enthusiastic and exuberant as I’ve ever seen him. Passing the sanctions bill right away would be a fitting tribute,” he wrote in a statement on Sunday.

Blumenthal and Graham’s legislation, which has the support of most senators, would slap crippling tariffs on countries that import Russian oil, natural gas and uranium.
