Summary
John Thune used a Senate floor speech to mourn Lindsey Graham as a patriot, foreign-policy force and close friend after Graham's sudden July 11 death.
Thune said Graham's influence reached across nearly every living U.S. president and foreign leaders, arguing he shaped American hard and soft power alike.
In Congress, Graham's recent imprint included steering 3 budget resolutions and 2 reconciliation bills through marathon vote-a-rama sessions, Thune said.
Thune also cast Graham as a unifying figure inside the Republican Party and a lasting force on the judiciary, saying his loss will be felt at home and abroad.
