Pope Leo becomes first pontiff to vote in a U.S. election
The Vatican said Pope Leo exercised his right as a U.S. citizen, submitting a mail-in ballot in his native Chicago ahead of the midterm elections next week.

What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on Leo as the first pope to vote in a U.S. election, with CBS News and The Independent explicitly saying he submitted a mail-in ballot. NBC News is the only one to frame it more cautiously, saying he “casts absentee ballot” and noting it is not clear whether the ballot has been mailed. The Independent alone adds the earlier sparring with Donald Trump and the Iran war context.
