Pope Leo has frequently clashed with Donald Trump, who has previously accused him of being “weak on crime“.
His press office added: “Pope Leo XIV has exercised his right to vote as a United States citizen, whenever he was eligible to do so.”
The Pontiff, who was formerly Robert Prevost, also voted during his time as a missionary in Peru, his press office noted.
Before his election in the conclave, Pope Leo had voted in both Democrat and Republican primaries.
