The funeral service for Senator Lindsey Graham, held at the Washington National Cathedral, featured remarks from several notable figures, including former President Donald Trump. The service, which lasted approximately two hours, became a focal point for discussion due to the content and delivery of Trump's address.
During his speech, Trump deviated from his prepared remarks at times. He commented on Graham's relationships, stating, "Virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey—well, not everybody. But that sounds good: ‘everybody.’" He also shared an anecdote about Graham being a "tough cookie" and "beautiful."
One notable moment involved Trump recounting a phone number, which he identified as Graham's, sharing "202-228-0292 if anybody wants to give it a shot." He also speculated about Graham's spiritual location, saying, "I think I know where he is, and I think he’s up there watching us. I’m pretty sure."
Earlier in the service, Trump was observed fumbling with a pack of Tic Tacs, an action captured on video. He also tapped on Graham's casket.
Other attendees included Sean Hannity, who delivered a eulogy that described a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago for Graham, complete with "a little more gold" and a ballroom. The service also noted extended periods of silence and attendees singing, with Trump observed not participating in the singing at one point.
The funeral was held on Tuesday, July 28, 2026.
