Stuart Stevens took a moment to reflect on Lindsey Graham's death with characteristic directness. As someone who knew Graham personally from his days as a Mitt Romney adviser, Stuart has some interesting insights into the Republican senator’s evolution on Trump.
Stuart didn't sugarcoat the complicated arc — Graham spent years calling Trump every name in the book before becoming one of his most reliable defenders. Stuart's take: Graham genuinely evolved, found a way to work within the Trump world while occasionally pushing back.
And in his final weeks, Graham was doing serious foreign policy work — brokering a potential Israel-Saudi normalization deal and pressing for congressional review of the Iran agreement. Stuart called him a patriot who cared deeply about national security, whatever his other contradictions.
