Born in Chicago to a family with Italian, French, and Spanish roots, Prevost was dubbed “The least American of the Americans” by Vatican correspondent Iacopo Scaramuzzi in the influential Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Prevost served as a missionary in Peru for the early part of his career, before moving on to leadership positions in the Vatican
So he's American, but hasn't lived or worked here in decades. This is not going to be the reformer that conservatives hoped for.

Prevost has faced criticism from advocates for clergy abuse survivors regarding his handling of sexual abuse allegations during his leadership in the Augustinian order and in Peru. The advocacy group SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) has alleged that Prevost failed to act against abuse claims involving Richard McGrath, a former president of Providence Catholic High School, allowing him to remain in his position despite longstanding accusations.

You can see the emotion in his face. It has to be quite the feeling.
I can't imagine what it's like to be told by your compatriots that the Holy Spirit has chosen you to lead the Church... has to be a highly, highly emotional moment

On key topics, Cardinal Prevost says little but some of his positions are known. He is reportedly very close to Francis’ vision regarding the environment, outreach to the poor and migrants, and meeting people where they are. He said last year “the bishop is not supposed to be a little prince sitting in his kingdom.” He supported Pope Francis’ change in pastoral practice to allow divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion. Prevost appears somewhat less favorable to currying favor with the LGBTQ lobby than Francis, but he showed mild support for Fiducia Supplicans.1
Well, shite

Sounds like a middle of the road guy but pretty reserved over all.

Nope. Typical Chicago politics.

I wish people cared as much about the Gospels and our Risen Christ as they do about the Papal Conclave and colored smoke.
I wish I had more than one upvote to give!
