Unconventional decision by Leo XIV. He will vote in the elections outside the Vatican.

Pope Leon XIV plans to vote in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, having requested a mail-in ballot earlier this month. This decision marks a significant moment as he could become the first pope to vote in U.S. elections. The Pope has previously criticized actions of the Trump administration, particularly regarding immigration and military actions. Despite tensions with Trump, who labeled him as ineffective, Leon XIV remains committed to advocating for peace.
