Leo XIV has become the first pope in history to vote in a U.S. general election

Pope Leo XIV has made history as the first pope to cast a vote in a U.S. general election. This action was possible because U.S. federal law permits citizens residing abroad, including those employed by foreign governments, to utilize absentee ballots. Meanwhile, college sports organizers are planning men's and women's basketball games in Rome between Notre Dame and Villanova. Coach Niele Ivey expressed excitement regarding the trip, which was inspired by the election of Pope Leo XIV.
