Congressman Rich McCormick (R-Suwanee), one of two Hall County representatives in Congress, said Sunday he was “heartbroken” to hear of the passing of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
Calling Graham “my friend,” McCormick said in a post on X the longtime member of Congress “dedicated his life to serving our country with courage, conviction, and an unwavering love for America. His legacy will be remembered for generations, and he will be deeply missed.”
Graham’s office issued a statement early Sunday saying he died unexpectedly following a sudden illness. The statement did not elaborate.
As of late Sunday night, the other member of the delegation, Andrew Clyde (R-Jackson County), had apparently not commented publicly on Graham’s death, according to a check of X and Facebook.
