Conclave 2025 LIVE: No pope chosen as black smoke rises from Sistine Chapel

Watch live as cardinals choose the new pope. Candidates need a two-thirds majority, or 89 votes. If no one secures that Wednesday, the cardinals will retire for the day and return on Thursday. They will have two ballots in the morning and then two in the afternoon, until a winner is found.
