Pope Francis has criticized both U.S. presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, for their policies on immigration and abortion, respectively. Speaking aboard the papal plane on Friday, the Pope labeled both candidates as 'against life,' condemning Trump's plan to deport millions of immigrants and Harris's support for abortion rights. He urged American Catholics to vote for the 'lesser evil' in the upcoming U.S. elections, describing the choice as one between two evils. The Pope emphasized that rejecting migrants is a 'grave sin' and equated abortion to 'assassination.'
