FIRST ON FOX： 前副总统迈克·彭斯呼吁国会将参议员林赛·格雷厄姆标志性的俄罗斯制裁法案以南卡罗来纳州已故共和党人的名字重新命名，他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这将是对这位参议院最具影响力的国家安全鹰派人物之一“再合适不过的致敬”。
在一次独家采访中，彭斯表示，格雷厄姆多年来推动对俄罗斯实施更严厉制裁的努力，既应成为他的立法遗产，也应永久提醒人们他对乌克兰和美国盟友毫不动摇的支持。
彭斯认为，国会有一个难得的机会来纪念格雷厄姆：通过他多年来一直倡导的两党制裁法案，并将该法案附上格雷厄姆的名字送交唐纳德·特朗普总统签署。

“我还认为，将参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的名字加在这项法案上是完全恰当的，”彭斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“将其送交总统，让他签署成为法律。”
彭斯表示，格雷厄姆将俄罗斯入侵乌克兰视为这个时代决定性的地缘政治挑战之一，并认为经济压力是迫使俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京进行谈判的关键。
“他对我们打交道的对象——弗拉基米尔·普京，从未有过任何幻想，”彭斯说。
这位在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后曾两次前往乌克兰的前副总统表示，格雷厄姆明白乌克兰是“自由的前沿阵地”，并始终推动共和党和民主党政府坚定地与美国盟友站在一起。
当被问及这项制裁法案最终是否会成为格雷厄姆最大的成就时，彭斯表示，这很可能会定义后世对这位资深参议员的记忆。
“我认为有可能，”彭斯说。

他指出，格雷厄姆数十年来一直倡导以色列、乌克兰和更强大的北约联盟，称这位参议员在其公共职业生涯中始终保持着惊人的一致性。
彭斯表示，在特朗普政府第一任期内，格雷厄姆在鼓励北约盟友增加国防开支方面发挥了重要作用，同时他也是国会山最坚定的以色列支持者之一。
但对彭斯而言，格雷厄姆最后的立法努力与他们最后一次谈话密不可分。
他至今仍清晰地记得那次会面。
彭斯和他的妻子凯伦刚降落在里根国家机场，正穿过航站楼时，他们看到格雷厄姆正走向另一个登机口。
和往常一样，格雷厄姆一上来就询问彭斯的家人情况。
这位参议员想了解彭斯的儿子——一名海军陆战队战斗机飞行员，以及他的女婿——一名海军战斗机飞行员的最新情况。彭斯说，格雷厄姆从未忘记询问他们的情况。
但短暂寒暄后，谈话转向了格雷厄姆最后几个月关注的议题。
“我们直接聊起了乌克兰制裁的话题，”彭斯回忆道。

彭斯感谢格雷厄姆领导这项努力，并提到了《华尔街日报》一篇支持对俄罗斯实施更严厉制裁的专栏文章。
格雷厄姆立刻身体前倾。
“他做了那样的动作——用手指指着我的胸口——说：‘你就坚持做这件事。这就是我们完成这件事的方式。这就是你把普京带到谈判桌前的方式。’”
两人拥抱后，各自前往不同的登机口。
“我们握手拥抱后分别了，”彭斯说。

回首往事，彭斯表示，那次短暂的机场会面完美地展现了他认识了几十年的这个人。
彭斯说，格雷厄姆喜欢谈论家庭，总能讲笑话，但私人谈话很少持续太久，他就会转回公共政策话题。
“他是一位非常严肃的立法者，”彭斯说。“他是一个 deeply committed to policy（原文如此，保留原文强调）的人。”
彭斯表示，无论议题是支持军队、站在以色列一边、保护未出生生命，还是对抗俄罗斯、伊朗和中国等威权政权，格雷厄姆的信念从未改变。
“他从未动摇过，”彭斯说。

这位前副总统表示，他是周日早上得知格雷厄姆去世的消息，对于这位他在20世纪90年代共和党革命时期首次结识、后来在国会以及随后的特朗普政府中共事的伙伴离世，他至今仍深感悲痛。
“我对这个消息感到震惊，”彭斯说。“直到现在，我的心情都非常沉重。”
彭斯表示，他希望议员们完成格雷厄姆多年来致力于推进的工作。
“我确实认为，国会通过这项严厉的俄罗斯制裁法案，总统将其签署成为法律，这将是对林赛·格雷厄姆参议员的一生和愿景再合适不过的致敬，”彭斯说。
“我将在未来的日子里继续倡导这件事。”

FIRST ON FOX: Former Vice President Mike Pence is calling on Congress to rename Sen. Lindsey Graham’s signature Russia sanctions legislation after the late South Carolina Republican, telling Fox News Digital there would be “no more fitting tribute” to one of the Senate’s most influential national security hawks.
In an exclusive interview, Pence said Graham’s years-long push for tougher sanctions against Russia should become both his legislative legacy and a permanent reminder of his unwavering support for Ukraine and America’s allies.
Pence argued Congress has a rare opportunity to honor Graham by passing the bipartisan sanctions package he spent years championing and sending it to President Donald Trump with the senator’s name attached.

“I also believe it’d be altogether fitting to put Senator Lindsey Graham’s name on that bill,” Pence told Fox News Digital. “Send it to the President, have him sign it into law.”
Pence said Graham viewed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as one of the defining geopolitical challenges of the era and believed economic pressure was essential to forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate.
“He never had any illusions about who we were dealing with — with Vladimir Putin,” Pence said.
The former vice president, who has traveled to Ukraine twice since Russia’s invasion, said Graham understood that Ukraine represented “a frontier of freedom” and consistently pushed both Republican and Democratic administrations to stand firmly with America’s allies.
When asked whether the sanctions legislation could ultimately become Graham’s greatest achievement, Pence said it may well define how history remembers the longtime senator.
“I think it could be,” Pence said.

He pointed to Graham’s decades-long advocacy for Israel, Ukraine and a stronger NATO alliance, saying the senator remained remarkably consistent throughout his public career.
Pence said Graham also played an important role in encouraging NATO allies to increase defense spending during the first Trump administration, while remaining one of Israel’s fiercest advocates on Capitol Hill.
For Pence, however, Graham’s final legislative push is inseparable from one of their last conversations together.
He still remembers the meeting vividly.
Pence and his wife, Karen, had just landed at Reagan National Airport and were making their way through the terminal when they spotted Graham heading toward another gate.
As he almost always did, Graham began by asking about Pence’s family.
The senator wanted updates on Pence’s son, a Marine Corps fighter pilot, and his son-in-law, a Navy fighter pilot. Pence said Graham never forgot to ask about them.
But after briefly catching up, the conversation shifted to the issue occupying Graham’s attention in his final months.
“We went straight into a conversation about Ukraine sanctions,” Pence recalled.

Pence thanked Graham for leading the effort and mentioned a Wall Street Journal opinion piece supporting tougher sanctions against Russia.
Graham immediately leaned in.
“He did one of those — puts his finger in my chest — and said, ‘You just stay on this. This is the way we’re gonna get this done. This is the way you bring Putin to the table.’”
The two men embraced before heading toward separate gates.
“We parted with a handshake and a hug,” Pence said.

Looking back, Pence said that brief airport encounter perfectly captured the man he had known for decades.
Graham enjoyed talking about family and could always be counted on for a joke, Pence said, but the personal conversation rarely lasted long before he returned to public policy.
“He was a very serious legislator,” Pence said. “He was a man who was deeply committed to policy.”
Pence said Graham’s convictions never changed, whether the issue was supporting the military, standing with Israel, protecting unborn life or confronting authoritarian regimes like Russia, Iran and China.
“He never wavered,” Pence said.

The former vice president said he learned of Graham’s death Sunday morning and remains deeply saddened by the loss of someone he first came to know during the Republican Revolution of the 1990s before serving alongside him in Congress and later in the Trump administration.
“I was taken aback by the news,” Pence said. “I really, really have a heavy heart, to this hour.”
Pence said he hopes lawmakers finish the work Graham dedicated years to advancing.
“I really do believe there would be no more fitting tribute to the life and vision of Senator Lindsey Graham than for Congress to pass and the president to sign the tough Russia sanctions bill,” Pence said.
“I’m going to continue to champion that in the days ahead.”
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
