Calls for the resignation of Piero Corvetto have intensified as delays and alleged irregularities in the presidential vote count have rattled investor confidence and heightened uncertainty.

Analilia Mejia's win with a nearly 20-point margin over Hathaway is significant, indicating strong voter support for Democrats in the current political climate.

A survey by Yale Polling discovered that just 55% of Democrats found Harris to be a highly electable candidate in 2028, while 58% found Cuban to be highly electable.

Roberto Velasco embodies two qualities valued by President Claudia Sheinbaum: technical expertise and generational renewal. At 38, he is the youngest to lead the department in nearly a century.

Jose Antonio Kast, a 60-year-old ultra Catholic whose father was a member of the Nazi party, has consistently blocked progressive bids for women's rights and equality across his three-decade career in politics. As a congressman, Kast voted against divorce when Chile became one of the last countries of the world to legalise it in 2004 and vehemently opposed the legalisation of abortion under limited exceptions when it was passed in 2017.

That Democratic stronghold turned red for the first time in its history, and Pulido is determined to paint it blue again as part of a national wave to return control of the House to his party. The country is watching the contest closely as a barometer for the midterms nationwide.

Mexico's defense of Cuba hasn't been limited to President Sheinbaum's daily press conferences. Prominent Morena figures from parliamentary spokespeople to party president Luisa Alcalde have publicly aligned themselves with Havana. Within Morena, a broad and sometimes divided political family, the party's more orthodox or nostalgic left wing has embraced the Cuban crisis as an ideological cause and is pushing for even closer ties with Havana.

I have been harping on the idea that voters who do not want to choose between "a lesser of two evils" in November need to show up to vote in the primaries process. I hope to see record engagement all throughout the spring and summer, building toward the November midterm elections.

In South Texas' mostly Hispanic Cameron County - which Trump won by nearly 6 points in 2024 as Republicans posted unprecedented gains among Latinos - 71% of the primary voters cast ballots for Democrats. Talarico won the county with nearly twice the votes Crockett received and more than three times what Sen. John Cornyn got in topping Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the county's GOP primary.

While Mexico has been doing this since 1993, as of 2024 these shipments have been carried out diligently as humanitarian aid in response to the island's energy crisis. Recent criticisms of these shipments by some U.S. members of congress have complicated the Mexican government's position. President Claudia Sheinbaum has offered some explanations, but the state-owned oil company, Pemex, has not provided a clear picture of the ships departing from its terminal in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, bound for Cuba.

According to the National Registry of Missing and Unlocated Persons of the Ministry of the Interior, 14,072 people were reported missing and unlocated during Sheinbaum's first year in office. This represents a 20% increase over the 10,924 reported the previous year and more than double the 7,802 registered in 2019, the first year of the presidency of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Sheinbaum's mentor.

The 1980s bring revolutionary wars, CIA-backed conflict and the violent birth of a new democratic era. Episode 2: Wars begins with Nicaragua's Sandinista revolution, which promised egalitarian transformation through literacy crusades. But civil war erupted as United States President Ronald Reagan's administration covertly backed the Contra rebels, plunging the nation into turmoil and suffering. Panama transitioned from Omar Torrijos's diplomatic triumphs over the Panama Canal to Manuel Noriega's sinister collaboration with both the CIA and drug cartels.
