Lindsey Graham dies: As war hawk senator passes away, who will take over the war machine’s drums?

Lindsey Graham has died at the age of 71. The long-time senator from South Carolina reportedly died of an aortic dissection, a tear to the inner wall of the aorta. But the story isn’t just about the death of a senator. It’s about what happens next. Lindsey Graham was one of Washington’s loudest voices for military intervention. For decades he publicly, and loudly, called for the deaths of millions. So who takes his seat in the interim? America Now host Ben Swann talks with Mark Lynch, a former candidate for US Senate in South Carolina and the host of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes. Plus, how old is too old to serve? America’s aging political class is under the microscope. America Now’s Olivia Flynn breaks it down.
