Pope Leon XIV, the first American pontiff, voted in the U.S. midterm elections by mail, marking a historic first for the Vatican. He has consistently exercised his voting rights as a U.S. citizen. The Vatican confirmed his participation, emphasizing the importance of civic engagement. Tensions have arisen between Pope Leon and President Trump over various issues, including immigration and foreign policy. Despite criticisms from Trump, the Pope remains committed to advocating for peace and encouraging active participation in democratic processes. His voting history includes participation in several primary elections in Illinois.
