A Republican senator has backed Donald Trump to become the next pope.
Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina senator, urged the papal conclave to “keep an open mind” about Mr Trump when it gathers to select the next head of the Roman Catholic Church next month.
Mr Graham, a frequent golf partner of the US president, said in a tongue-in-cheek X post that he was “excited” about the idea but conceded Mr Trump would be a “dark horse candidate”.
