tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

Outlets agree that Lindsey Graham died after a sudden illness, as his office reported.

Left-leaning outlets connect his death to Senate Republican dynamics, debates over his legacy and, in some coverage, speculation about its circumstances. Center outlets emphasize the reported cause of death, tributes and the distinction between preliminary findings and unsupported online claims. Right-leaning outlets emphasize tributes, the Senate vacancy and effects on Republican priorities, alongside reports on the cause of death.
