President Donald Trump said he has “somebody” in mind to replace Sen. Lindsey Graham but won’t reveal yet out of respect for the South Carolina Republican’s death.

Trump called in to NBC News’s Meet the Press on Sunday, just hours after Graham’s death, appearing in the time slot Graham himself was supposed to take. After paying tribute to his close ally, the president was asked about the replacement process.
