LIVE: View of the Vatican after election of Pope Leo XIV

View of St. Peter's Square in Vatican City the day after Pope Leo XIV was elected.

Leo, formerly U.S. Cardinal Robert Prevost, was elected by the world's cardinals as the new pope on the second day of the conclave to choose a successor to Pope Francis, who died last month.

He is the first pope from the United States, but holds dual citizenship in Peru, where he was a missionary for decades before becoming a cardinal.
