Lindsey Graham had just been on a trip to Kyiv on Friday night.
He'd been speaking to the press and explaining how in his support for Volodymyr Zelensky and for the Ukrainian government, that is something that he'd been very principled on throughout the period of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
and had actually held the line against Trump, saying that the US should keep supporting Ukraine.
And Graham had been rather pleased that he believed he was about to get a package of economic sanctions supported by Donald Trump against Russia, and so had come back to the US firmly believing that this is a chance to turn the screws on Vladimir Putin.
He was a very fervent supporter of bombing Iran.
He didn't want Donald Trump to go down the diplomatic route.
He wanted to continue the war against Tehran.
Lindsey Graham was also consistently a strong supporter of Israel.
Even in this period of the last three or four years, when public opinion in the US has turned rather more hostile towards Israel, especially towards Benjamin Netanyahu, Lindsey Graham was a stalwart, consistent supporter of the Israeli government.
Protests built up over the Israeli ill-treatment of people in Gaza in the past few years.
There was talk of genocide.
Lindsey Graham was having none of that.
And then you won't be surprised to hear that in terms of responding to Lindsey Graham's death, Benjamin Netanyahu has been one of the most outspoken in support of him.
So what happens now, then?
It was difficult for the Republicans to have lost a senator at this time.
The governor of South Carolina, Henry McMaster, will nominate a stand-in senator to help restore the balance of Republican control of the Senate.
But there will have to be an election, and it's a harder contest, of course, for an incoming candidate to win this seat for the Republicans.
You'd expect the Republicans to hold South Carolina, but this gives them another headache as they go into the midterms.
Well, he's such a veteran player, Lindsey Graham.
He did so much over the course of his many, many years in the Senate.
