Senator's office

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham died Saturday evening after a brief and sudden illness, according to a statement from his office posted on social media.

Mitch McConnell's office has provided limited information about his hospitalization since June 14, stating he is 'continuing to improve' and remains engaged with Senate business, but has not disclosed the nature of his illness or the reason for his ongoing hospitalization. Speculation persists as the US Congress prepares to return next week.
