Who is the new American Pope?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Friday, May 9th, 2025, and this is your AM Update. White smoke at the Vatican, there's a new pope, and for the first time ever, he's from America.
The people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us, and they didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day.
Former President Joe Biden, plus Dr. Jill, sit through a rambling and defensive appearance on The View. And President Trump's new pick for Surgeon General, Casey Means, gets attacked by some in the Maha movement. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. Tax day may have passed, but for millions of Americans, the real trouble is just beginning.
What are the implications of Joe and Jill Biden's appearance on The View?
If you miss the April 15th deadline or still owe back taxes, the IRS is ramping up enforcement, and every day you wait might make things worse.

What does Pope Leo XIV's election mean for America and the Catholic Church?
But unlike every other time in history, an American-born man walked out on that balcony to the cheering crowds below. Robert Francis Prevost is now Pope Leo XIV. Born in Chicago and alum of Villanova University in Philadelphia, he has spent most of his time in Peru and is a dual citizen. He has been serving as head of the Dicastery for Bishops since 2023. The powerful position means He oversees the selection of new bishops. President Trump giving his congratulations shortly after the announcement, writing on Truth Social, quote, it is such an honor to realize that he is the first American pope. What excitement and what a great honor for our country. I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV. It will be a very meaningful moment. A shock pick.
Little has been written in the weeks since Pope Francis' death about what sort of Pope Leo XIV might be. But that has not slowed down the Internet speculation. Many reports describing him as a centrist. His home state of Illinois does not register voters by party, but he appears to have voted in several Republican primaries. However, an ex-account believed to belong to Prevost used sparingly, sharing an article in February headlined, J.D. Vance is wrong. Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others. Additional tweets and retweets have been critical of Mr. Trump or his policies. Still, some conservatives see the fact that he chose a traditional papal name and wore the traditional papal garb
as Benedict XVI did and Francis did not, as encouraging signs. Much more on this historic day for Catholics and the world, and on the new American Pope in the days and weeks ahead. Former President Biden appearing for a lengthy interview on The View on Thursday alongside his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, for part of it. This comes as several books are being released about his final years in the White House with implications of a cover-up of his cognitive decline. Through pre-scripted questions from the hosts, the former president gave rambling, at times incoherent, answers. At one point, President Biden asked to address why his vice president, Kamala Harris, lost to President Trump pointed to sexism and racism.
Why do you think the vice president lost, and were you surprised?
How did Joe Biden address Kamala Harris's election loss?
I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice president was the most qualified person to be president. She is. She's qualified to be president of the United States of America. But I was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went the route of the sexist route, the whole route. I mean, this is a woman. She's this. She's that.
