President Trump delivered a eulogy for the late Senator Lindsey Graham, celebrating him as a "giant of the United States Senate" and honouring their friendship, as well as Graham's long record of service to Congress and the nation. The tribute underscores the significant impact the South Carolina Republican had during his Senate career, where he was respected across political circles as a distinguished statesman.

In a formal recognition of Graham's legacy, the Pentagon has announced plans to rename a South Carolina military base in his honour, citing his decades of service to both Congress and the armed forces. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink issued an internal directive on 27 July instructing staff to coordinate the renaming effort with Air Mobility Command and Joint Base Charleston, honouring Graham's background as an Air Force veteran.
