## Summary

US Senator Lindsey Graham has died suddenly, prompting tributes across the political spectrum, according to Fox News. The report notes that Graham had been scheduled to make his 64th appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" before his death, and that host Kristen Welker paid tribute to him on the programme in place of the planned interview.

The coverage highlights reactions from prominent figures, including President Donald Trump, who described Graham as being "like a member of the family" and praised his defence of Brett Kavanaugh as a "finest moment", and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who recounted a "final" conversation in which Graham challenged his push to end aid to Israel. The article also references a mix of responses to the senator's death, noting that some commentators posted dismissive "good riddance" messages. Full details of the circumstances of Graham's death are not provided in the available text.
