Why this matters in The Atlanta
While the funeral services for Sen. Lindsey Graham will take place in Washington, D.C., and South Carolina, the impact of his legacy can be felt in Atlanta, where many Georgians have been affected by his policies and decisions during his time in office. As a neighboring state, Georgia has often been influenced by the actions of South Carolina's lawmakers, and Graham's presence in the Senate has had a ripple effect on the region. The tribute from President Donald Trump and the involvement of various law enforcement agencies and military units in the funeral procession underscore the respect and admiration that Graham commanded across party lines and state borders. As the people of South Carolina come together to honor Graham's memory, Atlantans will likely be watching the proceedings with interest, reflecting on the ways in which his career has shaped the local and regional landscape.
