Trump in trouble?: How could Graham's death, McConnell's sickness affect US Senate after midterms?

The potential loss of two senior Republican senators introduces real uncertainty about the party's ability to maintain its supermajority in the upcoming midterm elections. The timing of these health crises, with McConnell hospitalized and Graham deceased, could reshape the balance of power in the Senate. The outcome will depend on how quickly replacements are appointed or elected, and whether the party can hold its majority without these key figures.
