U.S. embassies in Europe are not planning to celebrate election night, with staff opting to head home instead. A potential Trump victory is viewed negatively by the diplomatic community, recalling the "calamitous" mood of 2016 when he defeated Clinton.
The U.S. Embassy in Rome is the only one hosting a gathering, reflecting the ideological bias of many diplomats appointed by Biden. Despite Trump's past loss, he may secure a second non-consecutive term, yet his message remains unpopular among European liberals.

Le Monde: Marijuana legalization fails in Florida after costly campaign
A campaign to legalize recreational marijuana in Florida failed on November 5, as it did not achieve the required 60% supermajority. The measure, funded largely by Trulieve, aimed to allow sales from medical dispensaries but faced opposition from the Florida Republican Party and Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Voters in several states also considered various measures, including those on abortion rights and noncitizen voting. While about half of U.S. states permit recreational marijuana, it remains illegal federally. Massachusetts is also voting on a measure to legalize natural psychedelics.
