Lindsey Graham's death shakes Senate GOP as Iowa race looms

The sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a veteran South Carolina Republican, is scrambling the state's Senate race and adding new uncertainty for the GOP just months before the midterm elections. The 71 year old lawmaker died Saturday after an unexpected illness, leaving a vacancy that must be filled through a fast track primary process.

President Trump, who ordered American flags lowered to half staff in Graham's honor, signaled he plans to weigh in on the replacement. 'I have somebody that I think would be great, but I don't want to say it now because it's just, you know, it's too soon with Lindsey,' Trump said Sunday on NBC News' 'Meet the Press.'
