GOP Divided Over Honoring Lindsey Graham’s Legacy

July 14, 2026 · 9:48 am ET · Leave a Comment

“The late Sen. Lindsey Graham was known as a champion of American military power, strong global alliances, conservative jurisprudence and more,” Politico reports.

“Cryptocurrency regulation? Not so much.”

“So when President Donald Trump suggested in a Truth Social post Monday that the Senate should pass a long-brewing crypto bill in ‘honor of Senator Lindsey Graham,’ it struck a false note to many lawmakers. It also underscored how quickly many in Washington are moving after the Republican senator’s death Saturday to claim his mantle for their own purposes.”

CNBC: Trump calls for Congress to pass Clarity Act crypto bill to honor Lindsey Graham.
