Fox News caught up with several senators on Capitol Hill Thursday for their thoughts on the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff, and many voiced excitement about the historic first.Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., called the news "unbelievable.""If you told me ahead of time, I said, No way. Never happen. This is phenomenal," said Hoeven. "I've been telling folks they'll never pick an American cardinal to be the pope. And I thought, you know, maybe somewhere else, but probably back to Europe. So, this is so exciting. I can't believe it."A member of the Augustinians, a religious order within the Catholic Church, the newly elected pope was born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago in 1955. He studied at Villanova University, was ordained a priest in 1982 and was named a cardinal by Pope Francis in 2023.FIRST AMERICAN ELECTED PONTIFF, GET TO KNOW POPE LEO XIVHoeven called Pope Leo XIVs selection "phenomenal," saying, "American Catholics are just going to be thrilled. I know they're just thrilled."Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said, "As an American Catholic, I am incredibly excited."Kelly quipped that "as an Arizonan, this is probably the best pick the Cardinals have made since Larry Fitzgerald."Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., said"we're very proud in Illinois" and mentioned that she hopes Leo "brings some of his hometown to the Vatican with him."PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS FIRST AMERICAN POPE, POPE LEO XIV, IS 'GREAT HONOR'Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., commented on a post of Leo's on X before he was elected pope in which he appeared to criticize Vice President JD Vance for his justification for stricter immigration enforcement."Hopefully, the new pope can use his pastoral powers in order to help JD Vance and Donald Trump understand their responsibilities representing the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the world," Markey said. "To ensure that we also protect those who are the most vulnerable and most in need."The senator asserted that Leo "will continue the legacy of Pope Francis" and that "this new pope channels that history of the Catholic Church, standing up for those who are most in need against those who are most powerful."VILLANOVA GRAD REACTS TO FORMER CLASSMATE BEING NAMED FIRST POPE FROM UNITED STATESDespite Markeys assertions that Leo will follow in Francis footsteps, the new pope has already differed from his predecessor in several ways, including taking the more traditional name "Leo" and by wearing the traditional red cape of the papacy, which Francis chose not to wear after his election in 2013.After emerging to address the crowd assembled in St. Peters Square Thursday, Leos first words were "Peace be with you," which he said in Italian. He delivered a message to the faithful on building bridges, peace and dialogue "without fear."

Former Vice President Mike Pence has a message for his old boss.Pence is urging President Donald Trump, under whom he served as vice president in Trump's first administration, not to raise the tax rate on wealthy Americans.Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the signature domestic achievement of his first White House term, is scheduled to expire this year if it's not extended by Congress.The Trump White House and some congressional Republicans for weeks have mulled letting the tax reductions on the wealthy sunset as a way to pay for the rest of the tax cuts as well as Trump's other pricey second-term priorities.WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ASKING SPEAKER JOHNSON TO DOAnd the president, during a Wednesday phone call, pushed House Speaker Mike Johnson to raise taxes on the highest income earners and close the carried interest loophole in the reconciliation process, Fox News Digital confirmed. The development was first reported Thursday by Punchbowl News.A source familiar with Trump's thinking said Trump is considering allowing the rate on individuals making $2.5 million or more to increase by 2.6%, from 37% to 39.6%.But Pence, a fiscal conservative and budget hawk during his long political career in the House of Representatives, as Indiana governor and as vice president, strongly cautioned against upping the rates on the highest earners."Any suggestion that I've heard among some in and around the administration that we raise the top margin rate, the so-called millionaires tax, would be an enormous tax increase on small business owners across America," Pence said. "It needs to be opposed."WHAT MIKE PENCE TOLD FOX NEWS IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW THIS WEEKAnd the former vice president, in an interview with Fox News Digital this week, argued that "the majority of people that file taxes of a million dollars are simply individuals that own businesses, and they file their taxes as an individual, but then plow that money back into their company. If you raise that top margin, it would be an enormous tax increase on small business America.""Lets make all the Trump-Pence tax cuts permanent. Thats a way to really lay a foundation to grow the economy in the days ahead," Pence urged.WHY TRUMP'S FIRST VICE PRESIDENT WAS HONORED BY THE KENNEDY FAMILYPence, who was interviewed in Boston after receiving the John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage award, gave "President Trump all the credit in the world for an historic victory last November, and for sparing the country one more liberal Democrat administration."He also praised Trump "not only for his victory, but for securing our southern border, for restoring morale and recruitment in our military, for taking the fight to the Houthis."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPBut he argued that "I truly do believe that some of the other steps the president is taking away from that conservative agenda should be a concern that would work against his legacy and ultimately the success of our party or our country. And so we're going to continue to be a voice against them."I really do believe that for prosperity for the success of our country, we need to stick to those time-honored principles of strong defense, American leadership on the world stage, less government, less taxes, traditional moral values and the right to life, and Im going to be a voice for that," Pence added.
