Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham drew both backlash and skepticism on Tuesday after appearing to joke about the possibility of President Donald Trump becoming the next leader of the Catholic Church.
In a clip circulating on X, when asked who he thinks will replace Pope Francis as head of the Roman Catholic Church, Trump jokingly said he would "like to be Pope" before adding he has no preference. Pope Francis, whose papacy lasted approximately 8 years, died on April 21.
