Graham jokingly asks conclave, Catholics to ‘keep an open mind’ about Pope Trump

Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican representing South Carolina, humorously suggested that Catholics and the papal conclave consider Donald Trump as a candidate for the papacy following Pope Francis' passing in April 2025.
This suggestion followed Trump’s joke that he would like to be pope, made shortly after attending Pope Francis' funeral with First Lady Melania Trump.
Graham described Trump as a “dark horse candidate” with “many upsides” and encouraged an open mind despite Trump being a Presbyterian and non-Catholic, thus not meeting papal qualifications.
At the funeral, Trump joked about wanting to become pope, and on social media he offered his sympathies, writing, “May God bless Pope Francis and all who cherished him.” Meanwhile, Senator Lindsey Graham encouraged people to remain open-minded about the possibility of Trump succeeding as pope.
The papal conclave, which will begin in May 2025 to elect a successor, faces considerable skepticism over Trump’s candidacy amid broad public mockery and political criticism of Graham’s remarks.
