Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina joked that he's too sane to assume the House speakership.
Fellow Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia playfully told Graham that he could compete for the position.
The conversation came after the House on Tuesday voted 216-210 to remove McCarthy from the role.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham doesn't think he's up for the job of Speaker of the House — but that's because he's not crazy enough to apply.
