It’s not exactly divine intervention, but even the pope considers the U.S. presidential race over. President-elect Joe Biden, a lifelong Roman Catholic, spoke to Pope Francis on Thursday, despite President Donald Trump refusing to concede. Trump claims — without evidence — that the election was stolen from him through massive but unspecified acts of fraud. Biden has said he accepts church doctrine about abortion on a personal level, but does not want to impose that belief on everyone. Having the pope on board, too, likely has special significance for Biden.
