Catholic convert JD Vance appears to have missed a shot at a reunion with Pope Leo XIV—with his frenemy Marco Rubio tapped for the honor instead.
A Vatican source told Reuters that the secretary of state is expected to travel to Italy and meet with the pontiff on Thursday.
This marks almost a year since Rubio and Vance met Pope Leo together on May 19, 2025, with the Illinois-born pope has so far declined Vance’s invitation to visit the White House.
