    Vatican City: Pope Francis has weighed in on the upcoming US election, urging voters to ‘choose the lesser evil’ amidst criticism directed at key candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The Pope’s comments reflect his concerns over the moral and ethical implications of the election choices face by the American voters.

    Pope did not directly name Kamala Harris or Donald Trump but referred to their policies and genders. He emphasized that Catholics should vote, stating, “Not voting is unacceptable. You must vote.”

    Pontiff also commented that, “”You must choose the lesser evil. Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know.” He further criticized both candidates saying, “Whether it is the one who is chasing away migrants or the one who that kills children. Both are against life.”

    The Pontiff’s remarks come as a surprise, given the traditionally reserved stance of the Vatican on political matters. His criticism highlights ongoing debates about the integrity and policies of both Harris and Trump, drawing attention to broader concerns about leadership and governance.

    Pope Francis has previously emphasized the importance of ethical leadership and social justice, and his intervention in the US election underscores his belief in the moral responsibility of voters. The Pope’s call to choose the lesser evil is intended to prompt reflection on the candidates’ policies and character.

    The comments made by Pope add a significant international perspective to the national political discourse, urging voters to make a decision rooted in ethical considerations rather than partisan allegiance.
