India's position illustrates how far the bill's tariff threat is from reshaping current buying patterns.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the bill's passage a "great tribute" to Graham, while Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker, who has known Graham for more than three decades, called it "Lindsey Graham's greatest achievement."
Graham's sister, Darline Graham, who was appointed to serve out the remainder of his term, delivered remarks from the Senate floor ahead of Friday's vote.
The bill next heads to the House, which is on recess until September, delaying any final path to Trump's desk.
That the bill's final Senate passage came by an even wider bipartisan margin than the procedural vote taken at Graham's funeral suggests the emotional momentum surrounding his death translated into durable support rather than a one-time symbolic gesture.
