Has anybody confirmed whether any senators talked with Graham for 17-20 minutes today?

Trump is claiming he may have been the last to speak to him.

Reading online, it sounds like he experienced an aortic dissection. What’s sad is, he told someone (multiple) people he was feeling unwell not long before he died, but refused suggestions to get medical help as he wanted to do a media hit first.

I think this is the same thing that killed John Ritter, and if I remember correctly, your odds of surviving it are pretty bad, even if you do get fast medical attention, but you still have to wonder.

Ah right. I also heard the last thing Graham said was to Trump, something like “_please sir, only you can pass the SAVE Act, sir_”, with tears in his eyes.

Nancy Mace quickly posted a Godfather meme to celebrate Graham’s death before I was even aware of it:
