Lindsey Graham's Death, New Iran Strikes & Mamdani's Map Controversy | PBD Podcast #831
"I got a call last night sometime at the early evening, maybe in the 7s. And he called and he said, we're all set for the Save America Act. He was pushing the Save America Act like crazy. He got back, said he just landed from Ukraine. I said, that's a long trip to make. He said he sounded a little tired, but perfect. But a little bit tired. Had a right to be."
Senator Lindsey Graham died at 71 after collapsing in his Capitol Hill residence hours after returning from his tenth trip to Kiev, Ukraine and speaking with President Trump. Graham suffered severe chest pains and was pronounced dead at George Washington University Hospital following an apparent aortic tear. His death sparked both tributes and celebrations, with Iranian state media celebrating his passing and progressive figures like Margaret Cho posting inflammatory comments about his death.
