Political Landscape: Graham Death, GOP Tensions, and Election Subpoenas
Senator Lindsey Graham has died, triggering a political farewell and a special Senate primary in South Carolina. The DOJ has subpoenaed Fulton County election workers from 2020 as Trump pushes hard on election rules. Senate Republicans are openly fretting that Trump's baggage (the $1.8B fund, SAVE Act push) is tanking their midterm chances, adding internal GOP tension. This is a major political event with implications for the Senate balance and midterm strategies.
