Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican senator from South Carolina, died Saturday night, his office said in a statement released early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness,\u201d according to the statement. \u201cSenator Graham\u2019s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period.\u201d<\/p>

Graham, who was first elected to the House in 1994 and the Senate in 2002, was running for reelection this year. He had been a staunch ally of President Donald Trump on most matters but had broken with the president on some issues, such as foreign policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s outstanding. He\u2019s been at my side for a long time,\u201d Trump said in a tele-rally for Graham last month, acknowledging that the two men had dueled for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. \u201cAfter that fight was over, we were best of friends, and he\u2019s helped me as much as anybody in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>
