Lindsey Graham’s Funeral Draws in World Leaders

“… it seems fitting for his friends and colleagues to give back to him through this special Capitol honor.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) ahead of memorial services for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. Graham’s casket arrived Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, where his remains received a military escort in recognition of his years of service in the U.S. Air Force. Later Tuesday, President Trump and others will deliver remarks during the funeral service at Washington National Cathedral.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are among those expected to attend Tuesday’s service, in recognition of Graham’s longstanding ties to both leaders through his foreign policy work. Netanyahu, who is making his first Washington visit since the Iran war began, said earlier that Graham’s death marked the loss of one of Israel’s “greatest friends;” Zelenskyy, meanwhile, was among the last to meet with Graham, visiting him in Kyiv just one day before his death.

President Trump in remarks at a General Motors facility in Michigan on Monday, where he called mail-in ballots “inherently corrupt.” His comments came the same day his administration asked the Supreme Court to allow an executive order that could impact mail-in voting to take effect ahead of the midterm elections.

The order directs federal agencies to help states verify voter citizenship and create new rules for handling mail-in ballots. It also calls for enhanced ballot-security measures, including barcode tracking, and allows federal agencies to withhold certain funding from states failing to comply.

Twenty-three Democratic-led states challenged the order, arguing that states and Congress — not the president — hold the authority to set election rules.
